What Makes Kids Smarter?… Exercise

Being in good physical shape will improve your ability to learn and remember.

Indeed, in a 2007 study of humans, German researchers found that people learn vocabulary words 20 percent faster following exercise than they did before exercise, and that the rate of learning correlated directly with levels of BDNF.

Following a three month exercise schedule, blood-flow increased to the part of the brain concerned with memory and learning by 30%.

In his study, Small put a group of volunteers on a three-month exercise regimen and then took pictures of their brains… What he saw was that the capillary volume in the memory area of the hippocampus increased by 30 percent, a truly remarkable change.

We don’t dumb anything down, instead we try to elevate a child’s thinking with stunning images, great articles, quizzes, puzzles and more.

A curious, engaged child will develop their own thoughts and ideas, without being ‘told’ what to think, or how to solve problems.

CUBiC Magazine is A5, 48 pages and not only printed on FSC paper (Forest Stewardship Council), but also delivered in a recyclable plastic envelope.

It’s not glossy or riddled with cartoon characters.

We’re so proud of CUBiC Magazine that we suggest to keep each issue after reading because it is not a throw-away item (despite being recyclable).

We don’t shy away from dealing with important issues such as mental health in sports and protecting your ears when you listen to music.

With our hugely combined experience of writing courses and delivering them worldwide, we know what works. The founders Neil and Kim have children of their own who help contribute ideas us what they’d like to see in a magazine.

Why A5? So it fits into your child’s backpack or bedside draw.
