Britain’s increasingly intense and earlier heatwaves are disrupting classrooms and exams, prompting calls for a national plan to adjust the school year or invest in climate-resilient schools, as research links high temperatures to reduced learning and performance.
A 10-week study conducted in Germany compared the learning performance and immune system activity of individuals engaged in cardiovascular exercises (cycling) to a control group (stretching exercises). While there was no significant difference in learning performance between the two groups, those in the cardiovascular group who exhibited greater learning also demonstrated a more robust immune response following their exercise sessions. The study suggests that the immune system may play a central role in facilitating the positive effects of exercise on brain function.
