In the News: Could gym class boost your grades?
It’s only
third period, but you can barely focus on what your teacher is saying.
Sound familiar? Fading concentration in the classroom can be a nightmare
– you’ll miss instructions, important lessons and even mess up on major
tests by making easily avoidable mistakes. The answer to fading
concentration? Exercise!
Before
you complain about having first period gym, hear this: scientists have
concluded that exercising before you take a test bumps your attention
levels and helps you focus. Studies have shown that exercise, especially
classes with constant moving (like running, walking, skipping, etc.)
can boost your concentration and make a major impact on your grade.
So
if you have time, try jogging before school, or walking with your
chicas during free period. It might seem a bit silly, but when you havta
put pencil to paper, you’ll have a clearer mind – and a much better
shot at a great score.
