(Medical Xpress)—Every teacher knows elementary students have energy to burn, but given the increased focus on meeting specific test scores and the challenges of the school day it's not easy to fit in enough time for physical activity. Joseph Donnelly, professor of internal medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, is leading a study that helps teachers incorporate physical activity into their existing curriculum. The findings show students who get more motion in their day are achieving better educational outcomes than their peers who do not.
