The aim of our review-type study is to take into consideration the effects of movement and active living in the segment of cognitive skills and functions. We also examined the relationship between physical indicators, in terms of assessing cognitive functions, brain function and school performance based on the complex skills provided in school performance.
Based on the literature review, there is no unified opinion in terms of relationship between movement on cognitive abilities and academic performance, but in most cases it assumes a connection and does not prove a negative effect. Studies using different methods show a heterogeneous effect, which often proves a positive relationship, but it is almost impossible to determine its extent, objective monitoring is not suitable for unification due to the complex functions and different forms of movement. Unfortunately, the literature treats the development of cognitive functions, subject and movement separately, even though it presumably functions as a complex system. However, it is difficult to establish a causal relationship in the absence of objective measures.
The results are still significant, because the present generation is characterized by a sedentary and an inactive lifestyle, which can only be changed if we motivate the students by renewing the lessons in the primary scene of learning and, in addition to the health of the hearth- and circulatory system, with the fitness of the brain, by replenishing the learning environment through movement. This new type of thinking could gain strength against outdated pedagogical methods and learning strategies.
