The Washington Post (1/10) "KidsPost" blog reports that according to a Dutch review of 14 separate studies, "'being more physically active is positively related to academic performance in children.' Which is really just a fancy way of saying kids who got exercise and were physically fit tended to do better in school."
Keith Ayoob writes at the USA Today (1/10) "Nutrition Nation" blog that the "systematic review" suggests that active students do better in class, but "results were very iffy. Out of the 14 studies identified, only two were considered well-done. Still, there was a trend: Over time, there seemed to be a connection between physical activity and academic performance."
