===Physical activity=== {{primary sources|section|date=November 2013}} Studies have indicated that children who are inactive have poor health, but they also have poor cognitive health also. With low fitness there is a relationship to decreased cognitive functioning; for instance there are different types of cognitive problems like perception, memory, cognitive control, and there is lower academic achievement.<ref name="Raine, L.

One test selected children to be in two different groups, one group was physically active the other group was not. After a while of monitoring the children the researchers tested the children in learning and recall memory to see what they were retaining and to observe the difference if available of low physical activity versus high physical activity.<ref name="Raine, L. B. 2013"/> The results came back indicating that the children without physical activity have a later recall process than the children with physical activity. The learning part of the experiment was equally distributed on both spectrums for each group, but recall memory was the only variable that did not match both of the groups.<ref name="Raine, L. B. 2013"/> Physical activity has a significant influence on the hippocampus, since this is the part of the brain that is responsible for encoding information into memory.<ref name="Raine, L. B. 2013"/> With physical activity having such an impact on the hippocampus this can regulate other parts of the body as well like weight, memory, daily function, and many more processes that are necessary for the body to work. Since physical activity impacts all of these important parts of the brain, this form of exercise keeps the neural networks functioning well. Neural networks allow information to process and pass to the hippocampus in order to retain memory.<ref name="Raine, L. B. 2013"/> This lets the brain be more efficient in processing and more memories are stored this way.
