Children Who Are Driven To School Are At A Disadvantage

Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had walked or cycled, a joint study by researchers at the universities in Copenhagen and Aarhus found.
"The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has circa four hours later," said Niels Egelund, a co-author of the report.
The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis originally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils' ability to concentrate.
"The results showed that having breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercised," Egelund told AFP.
"As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone half a year further in their studies," he added.
In the survey, taken by 19,527 pupils aged five to 19 years, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.
"Most people know the feeling of being refreshed after having exercised, but it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long," Egelund said.

YouTube remove vídeo do PSD por «conteúdo comercialmente enganador»
Um vídeo divulgado pelo PSD através das redes sociais foi removido do YouTube por «violação da política do YouTube relativa a spam, esquemas e conteúdo comercialmente enganador».Fonte: Diário Digital
O vídeo em questão estava a alojado no Youtube e fazia parte de uma mensagem publicada esta tarde na página do Partido Social Democrata, a qual remetia para um filme em que os sociais-democratas elencavam as medidas propostas pelo Governo para a dinamização da Economia.
No entanto, embora a mensagem no Facebook continue acessível, o vídeo acabou retirado pelo administrador do YouTube e substituído por uma mensagem, no mínimo, embaraçosa, em que pode ler-se que «este vídeo foi removido por violação da política do YouTube relativa a spam, esquemas e conteúdo comercialmente enganador».
