The purpose of this study was to determine if third grade students would achieve higher on a
one hundred question multiplication quiz when they receive more physical activity. Students in
the study received two minutes of cardiovascular physical activity each day before math class.
The measurement tool was the pre-and post-test
scores out of one hundred. This study was a
quasi-experimental design. Results show that physical activity that students received did impact
academic achievement. Future studies are recommended involving more accurate measurements
of physical activity as
well as a different means of measuring academic success.
