According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, your fitness level is related to your academic performance. The following are findings from a study of grades K-8 in the 2007–08 school year:
- Standardized test score performance increases consistently with increasing fitness across all weight groups.
- Overall, students in the top 5% in fitness score 36 percentile points higher on standardized tests than students in the bottom 5% in fitness.
I guess that means that jocks aren't so dumb after all...
