Active children may also excel in school.

"Students who get extra physical activity may pay more attention in school and do better in subjects like reading and maths, a research review suggests.The study team analysed data from 26 previously published studies with a total of more than 10,000 children between four and 13 years old. All of the prior studies measured the impact of a variety of physical activity programmes on academic performance. The authors also looked at whether the effect of exercise differed across academic subjects. Although the benefit of physical activity was strongest for mathematics, it was only slightly less for other subjects like language and reading, meaning physical activity benefits learning in all academic subjects."
