John Ratey, from “Run, Jump, Learn! How Exercise can transform our Schools”, explained the cognitive effects on kids, and how physical activity turns our brain on to further our learning capabilities. If you ever see any preschooler or young kid on the playground they play tag, climb the monkey bars, and even bend down to tie their shoes.
