The Effect of Physical Activity on the Memory of Schoolchildren

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of physical activity in physical education classes on the memory indicators of schoolchildren. The main research method was the “Memory” test, which determines the level of memory development of schoolchildren. The reliability of the increase in indicators was determined by the Student’s T-criterion (p>0.05). As a result of the study, children were engaged in physical exercises were able to significantly increase the test results. The results obtained determine the effectiveness of the influence of a physical education lesson at school on memory indicators. This study will serve as an additional motivation for children to engage in physical culture, since the impact of physical exercises has a positive effect not only on the development of physical qualities, but also on the memory of schoolchildren. In the future, it is possible to study the influence of physical activity on the mental processes.
