The ‘Fit to Study‘ project aims to test the impact of a teacher training intervention designed to try to optimise the content of PE for brain and cognitive function during secondary school (Year 8) PE lessons.

about fit to study

Neuroscience evidence suggests that physical exercise can influence brain function and structure, both immediately and in the long term.

national importance

There is an increasing need for educational policy to be informed by evidence. Fit to Study will be an important component of the way we think in future about PE in schools.

Happy school children hugging!
