TEXTO:

     Research shows there can be a link to impaired
vision and poor school performance. Correcting poor
vision with properly prescribed glasses results in a
greater impact on academic performance than any other
[5] health intervention. This has long-reaching implications
in student success as the risk of failing one grade level
is 3 times greater for school children who have a visual
acuity below 20/20 versus children with good visual
acuity. To put it in context, students in China who wore
[10] glasses for one year earned higher test scores
equivalent to six months of additional schooling, with
historically under-performing students benefiting the
most from vision correction.

    But vision isn’t the only health issue affecting
[15] student achievement. Fitness plays a vital role in the
success of students in the classroom that lasts long
after they graduate. Studies have shown that improving
physical fitness levels leads to improved academic
success. In a study of students in Mississippi, those
[20] who were in the healthy fitness zone were two-four times
more likely to have high achievement in a number of
areas, most notably in language arts and math.

     What we see from all of this is a clear indication
that it is vitally important to improve both vision and
[25] fitness if we want our students to succeed. Vision
screenings and fitness measurements are a good start,
but to really be effective we must also provide the
solutions — easier access to eye examinations and
corrective eyewear as well as improved physical
[30] education programming and more time for physical
activity. It’s not just for grades. Healthy, successful
students mean a healthy, successful workforce later
on and that’s good for all of us.

TEXTO:

     Since the early 21st century, numerous studies
have shown how aerobic exercise promotes the
generation of new brain cells and white matter
integrity in people who exercise regularly. However,
[5] there’s still a lot of uncertainty about the exact “doseresponse” related to how much time people should
spend being physically active in their daily lives. And
nobody is certain about what intensity (easy, moderate,
vigorous, or intense) of physical exercise is ideal
[10] for optimizing brain structure and functional connectivity
across a lifespan.

    A recent study, conducted by researchers in
California and in Japan, shows that a single 10-minute
bout of very light physical activity can increase the
[15] connectivity between brain regions linked to memory
formation and storage. What makes this study unique
is that the researchers have demonstrated a more
immediate impact related to the strengthening of
communication lines between memory-focused parts
[20] of the brain after a single 10-minute bout of light activity
that wasn’t aerobic. 

     For this study, the researchers recruited 36 healthy
young adults and had them perform 10 minutes of very
easy physical movements such as tai chi or gentle yoga.
[25] Immediately after the brief session of physical
movement was completed, each person’s brain was
scanned using high-resolution functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI). In comparison to a control
group that hadn’t done any physical activity, those who
[30] had gently moved their bodies for 10 minutes prior to
the brain scan showed better connectivity between the
hippocampal dentate gyrus as well as cortical areas
linked to detailed memory processing and storage. “The
hippocampus is critical for the creation of

      new memories; it’s one of the first regions of the brain
to deteriorate as we get older — and much more
severely in Alzheimer’s disease,”they said.
