HealthDay (12/17, Mundell ) reports, “There may be something special about team sports in childhood that helps sharpen a kid’s brain, new research shows.” Investigators found that “children who were on soccer or volleyball teams scored higher on tests of ‘executive function’ – thinking skills needed to organize, remember details, make decisions and stay focused – compared to kids who didn’t play sports or played individual sports only.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
