Abstract
It is recommended that children engage in sixty minutes each day of physical activity. Many children do not achieve this goal. Schools are attempting to incorporate more movement into the school day without negatively impacting instructional time and academic outcomes. This research review aims to uncover three questions. How can schools incorporate more physical activity into students’ days? How will this additional movement impact students’ on-task performance and academic achievement? What impact will additional movement have on students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and students with ADHD symptoms (deficits in executive function skills)?
