Learning is a complete process of mind and body which involves not only the taking in and storing of new information (encoding), but also recalling that information for use at a later time... and according to latest research these processes can only function at maximum efficiency when the mind and body are trained.
Reducing or eliminating physical education programs is often done as a result of tough financial realities for school districts... however cutting such programs actually has clear detrimental effects on the educational growth, development, and success of students...
Thoughts???
