  7. Fitness = Linking Movement & Learning • Movement is a central mission of the brain. Movement facilitates cognition (Sylvester) • Bodily Kinesthetic is one of eight multiple intelligences (Gardner) • Raising the heart rate oxygenates the brain and feeds it glucose (brain food) (Ratey) • Neurons =Axon Cell=Membrane=DENDRITES

  8. Linking Movement & Learning • Brain Research= most of the brain is activated during physical activity – much more so than when doing seatwork. • Jensen= sitting for more than 10 minutes at a stretch “reduces our awareness of physical and emotional sensations and increases fatigue.” • reduced concentration • discipline problems. • Movement= increases blood vessels that allow for the delivery of oxygen, water, and glucose (“brain food”) to the brain.

Everything else is just information.” • The cerebellum, the part of the brain previously associated with motor control only, is now known to be, as Eric Jensen, author of numerous books on brain-based learning, puts it, a “virtual switchboard of cognitive activity.” More Movement – Smarter Kidshttp://articles.familylobby.com/79-more-movement-smarter-kids.htm

  11. Linking Movement & Learning • Repetitive gross motor movement balances brain chemicals that calm behavior and elevates self esteem and self worth and accommodates ADD/ADHD (Jensen) • Exercise triggers BDNF that increases neuronal communication (Squires) • What makes us move is also what makes us think (Hesslow)
