Friday Fitness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
At Harrow Beijing we understand the importance of being physically active and the link it has to academic achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physically active students and higher fitness levels are associated with improved cognitive performance (e.g. concentration and memory) which leads to better academic grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students may be inactive for long periods of time whilst diligently studying, so we have incorporated some morning physical exercise for all students to recognise the importance of being physically active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morning physical activities have been a success amongst both students and staff. Following a set physical activity routine, the staff and students have engaged in the event with enthusiasm and with smiles on their faces. Many have commented that the event makes them feel ‘energised’ and ready for their working day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harrow Beijing will continue to incorporate morning exercise into a school routine. The advantages associated with being physically active during a day of learning will only be of benefit to our students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
