Activity improves cognitive performance
Regular exercise helps provide more
glucose and oxygen to the brain.
Regular exercise also helps remove
waste products like carbon dioxide.
Aerobic activity 3-4 days per week
optimizes brain performance!
17. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS
IMPORTANT• Improves cardiovascular and respiratory functioning
• Reduces coronary artery disease (CAD) risk
• Increased quality of life.
• Beneficial improvements in cardiovascular and
respiratory function include:
• An increased ability of exercising muscles to consume
oxygen,
• Lowered resting and exercise heart rates,
• Increased stamina
• Resistance to fatigue
• More effective management of diabetes
• Reduced bone-mineral loss
• Decreased blood pressure

prioritization.
Only the most practiced
skills are kept and
preserved.
Physical Activity will
reinforce and strengthen

sensory and motor
experiences.

• Schools that promote physical activity may have a
significant impact on reducing childhood obesity,
chronic disease, and, ultimately, adult mortality.
• As research has shown physical activity has been
associated with increased academic performance, self-
concept, mood, and mental health, the promotion of
