Many studies have shown how movement<br />creates relations with the environment and with others, how movement expresses<br />self and emotions, how identity is formed, how risks of metabolic<br />and cardiovascular illnesses are reduced and how movement helps to develop<br />the cognitive sphere. Keeping in mind these considerations we can<br />ask the question: how much does physical activity influence cognitive capacity<br />and how much does it support school performance? In this paper we<br />try to provide an answer in support of the concept that movement is<br />change, growth and life!</p>}, number={1 Suppl.}, journal={Formazione & insegnamento}, author={Valentini, Manuela and Cinti, Francesca and Troiano, Giovanna}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={149–162} }
