These exercises help children ‘use up’ excess energy which can support them to sit and concentrate on the next tasks. Aerobic exercise for at least 10 minutes positively affects impulsivity, mood, unproductive and disruptive behaviour, attention span, work performance and on-task behaviour.
These exercises elevate our heart rate and breathing, to improve our cardiovascular health and fitness. These exercises support children to accumulate the 1-hour of moderate-to-high intensity physical activity recommended for Australian children each day.
