Every parent wants a better performance of their children in
academics. Research shows that physicalfitness increases your mental strength and there is always a positive connection
between physical activities and academic performance.
Children active in physical activities have more cognitive
abilities. According to some studies it is clear
that there are many differences in the brains of active children as compared to
inactive children like memory, emotion regulation and responsiveness usually
tend to be larger amongst children who got involved in regular physical
activities.
Physical activities stimulate brain plasticity by increasing
the growth of new connections between cells in a wide array of important
cortical areas of the brain to grow neuronal connections. So it is
clear that
healthy physical activities improves the functioning of brain like:
- The
flow of oxygen to the brain is increased
- The
number of brain neurotransmitters is increased, which helps your ability
to focus, deliberate, learn, recall and control stress
- The
number of brain-derived neurotrophins is improved, which assures the
survival of neurons in areas of the brain that are responsible for
learning, memory and higher thinking.
Physical activity improves children’s self-esteem. It supports
relationships with peers, parents and teachers. Regular and organized physical
activity training stimulates interactive collective and self-regulation core
values like respect and social obligation.

different type of games and other activities like jumping, running, cycling,
swimming etc. Now there is also a trend of the bouncy castle. Children love to
