Dissertation: Physical Education and Academic Performance – Literature Review. Part VIII
Shephard and Lavalle (1994) strongly suggest that the findings in this study do not warrant a strong argument for daily physical education among primary students. The impact of the added physical education should not be under estimated; however, the differences in the field and performance test were not substantial enough to make immediate changes in [...]
