Mid-day basketball improves cognitive function
Research is clear: Physical exercise changes the structure and function of the brain, leading to improvement in working memory and other critical brain functions. In fact, studies show that PE promotes neuroplasticity, that ability of the brain to change and grow, acquiring new connections or deleting those that that are no longer needed. In laymen’s terms, this means that regular PE leads to smarter students and more academic success. Sophia Academy thanks Esperanza Health Center for the use of their gym.
