IMPROVEMENT OF COGNITIVE SKILLS IN CHILDREN THANKS TO MOTOR ACTIVITY

Abstract

Today, regular physical activity and a healthy lifestyle are common and predisposing factors for prevention and health. This contribution aims to intertwine these conditions, considered by the scientific community as the basis of psychophysical well-being and predisposing to the improvement of cognitive functions and learning processes. This work provides through an experimental study, the understanding of this connection, for the possible relationship between physical activity and the improvement of cognitive learning abilities of children. Then, we used two groups of primary school students to research the relationship between improvement in achievement and controlled physical activity. This contribution aims to provide an impetus for discussion and an invitation to more holistic approaches to support the healthy and balanced development of the child.
