The researchers conducted an experiment by asking 20 schoolchildren around the age of 10 to walk on a treadmill at an average speed for half an hour. They then had to take a reading test. When comparing the results with those who did not participate in the experiment, it turned out that after walking the results of schoolchildren were better.
Thus, even a twenty-minute walk improves brain function, such neurocognitive functions as attention and control, but this does not happen immediately, but 25-30 minutes after training.
Be that as it may, all pediatricians agree that children should walk for an hour and a half after school before starting homework. This is the best way for the good development of the child.
Earlier it became known that a single school uniform may appear in Russia. Experts have been arguing about the need for this for more than a year.
