The effects of regular moderate to vigorous physical activity on student outcomes: a review.

Studies on the effects of regular (three to five times per week) periods of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on the health, academic performance, attitudes and classroom behaviour of children at school are reviewed. Conclusions from the literature provide a basis for enhancement of school-based physical education programs that are currently considered to lack sufficient intensity, duration and frequency to benefit the children involved. The review not only confirms the value of and need for inclusion of MVPA in physical education programs but also shows the feasibility of doing so, to the advantage of both students and teachers.
