Neurological brain connections, essential to all growth, are dependent upon stimulation from the environment and experience in the environment. It is this stimulation that completes the architecture of the brain.

In addition to physical health benefits, physical activity also improves cognition, memory, brain function, focus and mental health. Scientists, physicians and educators now believe that to achieve optimal brain development, physical activity and sensory experiences during the early developing years is essential in increasing neural connectivity. If the neurons are used, they become integrated into the circuitry of the brain. Those that are weak are lost – the ‘use it or lose it’ phenomenon.
