The purpose of present review is to present the links between physical education and physical activity of children and their impact on academic performance. Physical activity research findings are based on a systematic review of currently available literature, mainly collected from the following databases: PUBMED, SCOPUS and GOOGLE SCHOLAR. Quasi-experimental research data are implicating that increase in physical education up to one hour per week does not adversely affect students academic performance, moreover, a greater amount of additional physical activity increases students' academic performance. In most studies, increased physical activity was positively correlated with higher school grade. Cross-sectional studies are suggesting positive associations between increased physical education and increased academic performance of children. In addition, physical activity interventions have positive effect on concentration, memory, self-esteem and better classroom behavior.
