Examining the Relationship Between Students' Physical Activity and Academic Achievement: A Narrative Review

Öz

Physical activity has increasingly been recognized as an important factor supporting not only students' physical health but also various dimensions of learning and academic development. This study aims to examine the relationship between students' physical activity and academic achievement by synthesizing findings reported in the existing literature. A narrative literature review approach was employed to analyze scholarly publications and institutional reports addressing the associations between physical activity, cognitive functioning, learning motivation, attention, memory, and educational outcomes. The reviewed evidence suggests that regular participation in physical activity is generally associated with improved attention, greater engagement in learning, enhanced psychological well-being, and more favorable academic performance. In contrast, insufficient physical activity has frequently been linked to sedentary behavior, reduced concentration, lower learning motivation, and less satisfactory educational outcomes. The literature further indicates that school-based physical education and organized sports activities contribute not only to students' physical development but also to the development of cognitive, emotional, and social competencies that support the learning process. Overall, the findings highlight that promoting regular physical activity within educational settings may contribute to students' holistic development and create supportive conditions for academic achievement. Accordingly, strengthening opportunities for participation in quality physical education and school-based physical activities may represent an important component of educational policies aimed at improving student well-being and learning outcomes.
