A recent study in the United States that involve radically as well as economically assorted metropolitan population of children that attend the community school found that the kids who were physically fit were found to achieve better academic results as compared to their colleagues. The findings of such a study were published in the Journal of School Health and were headed by scientist as well as the lecturer at Harvard Medical School.

This diverse study involved the US school data from all the public schools from the year 2004 to 2005. When we speak of the public schools, it means government funded schools in the US as compared to the privately funded schools in the UK. The scientists observed the link between the physical fitness along with the academic results in Mathematics and English for more than 1000 students enrolled in the grades four to eight at the time of the study. The kids were simply 9-14 years of age.

The passing score in each grade included the physical fitness as well as the academic achievement. Here the physical fitness was assessed by the number of physical examinations passed during the physical education classes. The results show that there is an appropriate link between the academic results as well as the physical fitness. However there are is no certain evidence that shows that which one influences the other. There are some more studies to be conducted in order to get to some accurate results.
