1. Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise & The Brain
by Dr John Ratey M
John’s latest research and compelling message proves beyond a doubt that in order for our brains to function at their peak, our bodies need to move. Exercise prepares our brain to learn, it can improve our mood and attitude, lowers stress, and even helps to reverse some of the effects of aging on our brain.
2. Minimum of Two Hours of Fun & Effective Physical Activity Is A Must Each Week In Schools
by Dr Christina Curry
