One study of 59 women found that a hug with a partner lowered blood pressure and heart rate. Studies have also shown that simply noticing kindness and feeling gratitude (has positive impacts on the body,boosting the nervous system's ability to lower a fast heart rate.Those who keep weekly gratitude journals have been found to enjoy improved measures of well-being.The more often they exercise,the more positive and physically healthier they are than those who don't.

Over the past decades,experts have done a lot of research to explore different ways to encourage children's leamning.People have paid more attention to how physical activity,separated from the learning activities,can improve children's learning.However,the potential of combining physical activity and learning activities has been less discussed. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen conducted the Basketball Mathematics study at five Danish primary schools.The main purpose of it was to develop a learning activity that combines basketball and mathematics and examine how it might affect children's motivation for mathematics. 756 children from 40 different classes participated in the project,where about half of them-once a week for six weeks had Basketball Mathematics during gym class,while the other half played basketball without mathematics. "During classes with Basketball Mathematics,the children had to collect numbers and perform calculations connected with various basketball exercises.An example could be counting how many times they could sink a basket from three meters away vs at a one-meter distance,and adding up the numbers.Both the math and basketball elements could be adjusted to suit the children's levels,"explains Linn Damsgaard,a leading researcher. The results showed that children's motivation for math combined with basketball was 16%higher compared to classroom math learning.Children also experienced a 14%increase in self-determination compared with classroom teaching.Meanwhile,Basketball Mathematics improved their math confidence. "We are planning to do research to examine whether the Basketball Mathematics model can strengthen performance in mathematics.Once we have the fimal results,we hope that they will inspire school teachers and principals to prioritize more physical activity in such subjects,"says Associate Professor Jacob Wienecke. 52.What was the main focus of the Basketball Mathematics study? A.To compare basketball skills with math abilities. B.To develop a combined basketball-math activity. .C.To test children's physical fitness levels.

C.An increasing interest in leatting math. D.Arise:in determination to learrt basketball 55.How does Jacob expectthe research.to help educators? A.By building physical activity into teaching.
