Popis:	Many studies have indicated that participating in regular exercise for the heart and lungs may be one of the most important factors for middle school students to achieve good grades in math and reading. The purpose of this study was to determine if exercise, specifically sprint routines, could improve math competency as well as students’ confidence with solving word problems. In conducting this study, sprint exercises were used as a possible way for students to develop math fluency. The data collected suggests that incorporating physical activity with mathematic computational exercises can make modest gains to students’ mathematical fluency.
