Abstract Evidence shows that increasing physical activity and fitness may enhance academic performance, as well as setting aside time throughout the school day for recess, physical education class, and physical exercise in the classroom. According to available information, physical exercise has the greatest impact on mathematics and reading. These themes rely on effective executive function, which has been related to physical exercise and fitness. Academic achievement relies on executive function and brain health. Physical exercise and increased cardiovascular fitness improve basic cognitive skills such as attention and memory, which enable learning. Physical activity, both during single sessions and over time, improves cognitive function and brain health. Children who engage in vigorous or moderately intense physical exercise gain the most. Given the significance of focused time for learning, kids should be given periodic developmentally appropriate physical exercise breaks. Although currently understudied, physically active teachings in the classroom have the potential to enhance time on task and attention to task.
