Drop It Like a Squat: Exercise Breaks Can Enhance Attention
Briefly

We often find that during long periods of attention, people become easily distracted. Whether in classes or work meetings, sustained attention is challenging.
Research shows that implementing brief aerobic exercise breaks can significantly improve attention span and memory retention, both for children in classrooms and adults in various settings.
In my study at Ohio State University, I found that exercise breaks not only enhanced attentiveness among students but also increased overall enjoyment and engagement during lectures.
The results were clear; students reported feeling more focused and energized after exercise breaks, underscoring the benefits of physical activity in maintaining cognitive performance.
