It will cme as n cmfrt t a child shivering（打哆嗦） n a playing field n a cld winter's day. But regular rganized schl sprt helps children in their academic studies in years t cme. The researchers said ther “structured” activities such as music r religius activities were nt as beneficial fr attentin-as taking part in a games lessn. The difference in. academic ability was nticeable even at age ten, with thse wh had taken in sprts since the start f junir schl perfrming better than thse wh hadn't.
The Canadian study lked at children aged six and then ten. Prfessr Linda Pagani said: “We wrked with infrmatin prvided by parents and teachers t cmpare kindergarteners' activities with their classrm activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the furth grade, kids wh played structured sprts were clearly better at fllwing instructins and remaining fcused in the classrm. There is smething special t the sprting envirnment — perhaps the sense f belnging t a team t a special grup with a cmmn gal— that appears t help kids understand the imprtance f respecting the rules and hnring respnsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children arund the age f six, with teachers filled in questinnaires abut their behavir in schl. Meanwhile, the children's parents were interviewed by phne r in persn abut their hme life. The exercise was the repeated fur years later t test what effect the behavir had.

Nevertheless, we fund thse children wh were specifically invlved in team sprts at kindergarten scred higher by the time they reached the furth grade.” The researchers believe sprting activities and attentin skills g hand in hand. Prfessr Pagani added: “The results shuld be encuraging fr schls lking t cut childhd besity rates and lw attainment in schls.”
