Quote: They showed that fit children had significantly larger basal ganglia, a key part of the brain that aids in maintaining attention and “executive control,” or the ability to coordinate actions and thoughts crisply.
Question: What constitutes "fit"? If your fitness goes up and down, does your IQ and basal ganglia increase and decrease?
Comment: We are reading this article at HTHMA, but we don't even have P.E. here and our sports are limited to 3 events per week. We have xblock instead of P.E., but a lot of the xblocks are not physical activity. Of course, some of them are, but a lot aren't. And even the kids here that play sports for HTH can't play any more than 3 times, while at other schools they play every day, PLUS they have P.E.. So i am just confused and wondering why we read this here at HTHMA, but do nothing aboutit. We are aware, but we don't provide a solution.
