I recently applied for the research assistant position for the SMART Recess Pilot Study. I heard about this research lab through the OURs program at UMass, and I am interested learning more about the research projects on the P.P.A.L. website.
I read your publication (cited below) on the effects of physical activity on academics in young children. I found it interesting that there was not a significant relationship between the physical activity and symbol recognition during school. Although many factors may have affected these results, I am still surprised because I understand the positive effect of physical activity on many aspects of child development.
I read that the SMART Recess Pilot Study is searching for undergraduates to help; are there any spots open? If these spots are filled, I would still love to meet with you to discuss the research taking place in the P.P.A.L. Please let me know if we could meet to discuss this further.
