Subject: Re: [Bikies] new middle school bike program
Nice.
Recently the NYT reported on research linking exercise and learning. The
specific study they looked at here is a small-scale one that demonstrated that
college students exposed to foreign language instruction while riding
stationary bicycles learned better than those sitting at desks, but there is
more research that makes the link. A takeaway would seem to be that the idea
some districts have had of eliminating recess in favor of more hours of
instruction probably isn't a good one, while programs that get students moving,
such as this one, probably are.
