Does Stimulating Physical Activity Affect School Performance? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 AbstractThis paper investigates whether encouraging children to become more physically active in their everyday life affects their primary school performance. We use data from a field quasi‐experiment called the Active Living Program, which aimed to increase active modes of transportation to school and active play among 8‐ to 12‐year‐olds living in low
