The aim of this study is to explore the associations between objectively assessed intensity levels of physical activity and academic achievement and test whether cardiovascular fitness mediates the association between physical activity and academic achievement.

This study assesses the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement in diverse, urban public school children.

Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC) was a three-year cluster randomized controlled trial to promote physical activity and diminish increases in overweight and obesity in elementary school children.

This study investigates the relationship between scholastic achievement and weight status among 6th and 7th grade students.

Fitness, mathematics, and reading/language data were collected from 134 third-fifth-grade children.

This study compares the classroom behavior of children 8 to 9 years of age receiving daily recess with that of children not receiving daily recess.

This research brief highlights research showing that setting aside time for daily physical education does not hurt academic performance and that children who are physically active and fit tend to perform better in the classroom.

This article highlights Safe Routes to School as a promising strategy for increasing youth physical activity and improving health equity.

Although a number of environmental and policy interventions to promote physical activity are being widely used, there is sparse systematic information on the most effective approaches to guide population-wide interventions.

This study examines the usefulness of applying a walking suitability assessment to a specific geographic area surrounding elementary schools.

Incorporating a health promotion approach in the design and development of the built environment can ease climate change and promote healthier living.

Data from the 1969 and 2001 National Household Transportation Survey report that a smaller percentage of students lived within 1 mile of school in 2001 than in 1969.

Barriers to and facilitators of walking and bicycling to school were explored through 12 focus groups made up of fourth- and fifth-grade students and their parents who lived near their respective schools.

This paper uses data from the US Department of Transportation’s 2001 National Household Travel Survey to analyze the factors affecting mode choice for elementary and middle school children.

Only 14% of students aged 5-14 years usually walk to school.

This study examines the relationship between active transportation and obesity rates.
