The study, of about 5,000 children, found links between exercise and exam success in English, maths and science. It found an increase in performance for every extra 17 minutes exercise for boys, and 12 minutes for girls.

The study by the University of Strathclyde and the University of Dundee found physical activity particularly benefited girls’ performance in science. The authors said this could be a chance to find or reflect gender differences in the impact (影響) of physical activity on the brain.

Most of the teenagers’ exercise levels were found to be well below the recommended 60 minutes a day. The authors wondered what might happen to academic performance if children got the recommended amount.

They claimed that since every 15 minutes of exercise improved performance by an average of about a quarter of a grade, it was possible for children who carried out 60 minutes of exercise every day to improve their academic performance by a full letter grade — for example, from a C to a B, or a B to an A.

However, the authors admitted this was speculation given that very few children did this amount of exercise.

Dr. Josie Booth, one of the leaders of the study, from the University of Dundee said, “Physical activity is more than just important for your physical health. There are other benefits and those are something that should be especially important to parents, policymakers and people involved in education.”

The authors of the study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, said further research backing the findings could have implications for public health and education policy.

For those 【1】 have seen War for the Planet of the Apes, it’s easy to come to this conclusion-the movie isn’t about war or the planet, and it’s not 【2】(necessary) even about the apes. The movie is about 【3】(survive) and the choices we all make when one wants to survive, good or bad.

With a story that should have ben full of conflict and violence, it takes a different approach. You may find 【4】(you) exposed to small pockets of action. While recent sci-fi movies have become 【5】(know) for their action and scenes, War for the Planet of the Apes has taken science fiction 【6】 a thoughtful and intelligent direction.

War for the Planet of the Apes may not be the action and monster film that you had in mind, 【7】 it’s the kind of film that will make you want to sit in silence in the theater for a few minutes after it ends, taking in 【8】 you’ve just witnessed.

The few movies that have that effect 【9】(be) usually about humans, but this film enables people 【10】(feel) that way about apes. And that is what makes it a masterpiece.
