Childhood motor function and academic achievement

扫码查看
A growing body of evidence suggests that physical inactivity and obesity during childhood may compromise cognitive function and academic achievement. Marko Kanto-maa et al. (pp. 1917-1922) investigated whether childhood motor function underlies the effects of obesity and physical inactivity on academic achievement. The authors analyzed data from 8,061 boys and girls in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986, and assessed each child's motor skills and academic performance at the age of 8 years via parental questionnaires and teacher ratings.
