Abstract	This article examines how physical activity correlates with academic outcomes among elementary school children. Increasingly, physical activity is being acknowledged for its wide-ranging advantages, which go beyond just physical wellness and extend into mental and educational aspects. Studies suggest that consistent engagement in physical activity can enhance key cognitive abilities such as concentration, memory retention, and information processing. These positive effects are attributed to physiological changes like improved cerebral blood circulation, elevated neurotransmitter levels, and better emotional regulation—all of which contribute to a more effective learning environment. Incorporating regular physical activity into early education programs appears to be a valuable approach for boosting both scholastic achievement and the overall wellbeing of young students
