Table 5 indicates that while there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-test scores for both groups, there was also a significant interaction in that the experimental group not only improve, they also made up the gap that existed at the pre-test (p = .05).

The results show that both the control and experimental groups significantly improved their math and reading skills over the twelve-week period. The experimental group actually showed more improvement than the control group based on their average scores. Students receiving the extra physical education moved from a pretest score average of 35.04 in Math to 61.13. Students in the control group moved from a pretest Math score of 44.16 to 57.16. Not only did the experimental group outperform the control on average, but they also made up a deficiency. This difference was significant (p =.05). On average pretest score in reading for the experimental group was 35.40 with a posttest improvement to 51.94. This is in comparison with the control group, whose pretest average score was 41.56 with a posttest improvement to 51.20. The results in reading were not scientifically different, but once again the extra physical education group made up a deficit.
