STUDY FINDS EXERCISING HELPS MATH SKILLS
Regular exercise in an after-school program helped sedentary, overweight Augusta children perform better on goal-oriented tasks, according to a study from the Georgia Prevention Institute at Georgia Health Sciences University. The exercise also seemed to improve math skills, an area of great concern for U.S. educators. In the study, published online in the journal Health Psychology, Augusta children ages 7 to 11 were assigned to a group that got 20 minutes of aerobic exercise in an after-school program at the institute, one that got 40 minutes of exercise in a similar program or a group that had no exercise program. Increasing amounts of exercise seemed to have an increasing effect on "executive function," the ability to achieve goals and exercise things such as self-control, the study found.
