Reading, Math, and Motor Performance.

Harris, I. David; Jones, Margaret A.

Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v53 n9 p21-22,28 Nov-Dec 1982

The finding that motor performance variables were significantly related to reading and mathematics abilities suggests that motor performance objectives should be included in elementary school physical education curriculum.
