Throughout my life I have struggled with my weight, depression, anxiety, and attention defecit disorder. I have narcolepsy, which causes me to always be tired. If I didn’t exercise, I would be so much more tired. It’s amazing to read all the many ways exercise affects the body in a positive way. Regular exercise helps with alertness in people of all ages. Regular exercise by a pregnant mother can even help with the brain development of the newborn. John Hatey is a selfless, generous, heroic man who found a problem and needed to solve it. Why are kids in
Physical Education not actually exercising and then falling asleep in classes?

It is selfless, heroic, and generous of him to do the research in order to help students. In the end, more people were educated on his theories of the benefits of exercise and this information helped them as well. John Ratey believed a P.E. class was pointless for children. Many were shy and didn’t partake in the activities. He noticed the alertness and higher grades of the students that did participate and wanted to help the students who weren’t very alert and had poor grades. His selflessness is very admirable. He didn’t perform case studies at several different schools for himself, but to help others.
I knew exercise was beneficial in lowering depression, boosting your immune system, and a really great de-stressor. I didn’t know the impact it has on newborns whose mothers exercised regularly throughout pregnancy. There’s a lot of arguments about the safety of exercising while pregnant. James Clapp, an obstetrician and professor of reproductive biology at Case Western Reserve University, did a case study with 65 newborns who were each 5 days old; 34 newborns whose mother exercised regularly throughout pregnancy and 31 newborns whose mother did not. The newborns of the active mother scored better in 2 out of 6 tests.
These newborns were able to calm themselves better after a loud noise or visual disturbance, and they were more responsive to stimuli. Clapp believed the brain of the newborn of an active mother was more developed. When the
This could mean that while the infant’s physical development is progressing, they may be less active than others.

Warm, attentive care, especially during the first year of life, helps babies to gain a sense that the world is a safe and
The physical development of a baby in its first six months of life shows limited range of movement but the beginnings of an ability to respond to stimulus around them. They show their reaction to people, sounds and movement by turning their head toward whatever attracts their attention. They will watch an adult’s face whilst feeding, but have already begun to shows signs of recognition as they will smile when familiar people are around them either because they can see them
Central Idea: Exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun.

BINNS (1965) demonstrated this experimentally. He studied babies less than 5 days old and found clear differences in a babies reactions to being suddenly disturbed. [ref1]
It was concluded by the researchers that natural childbirth preparation that included breathing and relaxation training didn’t decrease the need for epidural during labor. It didn’t even improve the birth experience or affect parental stress in early parenthood when compared (Bergström, Kieler, and Waldenström). Although both have their benefits and side effects, both are not greater than the other. They do not hold up to their title. There was a research conducted by Bergström, Kieler, and Waldenström, they had parents do questionnaires to see if they had experienced different type of pain and stress. The results were the same. The main difference were the risk associated with the type of birth

They might also notice how they feel better when they are more physically active," Loucks explains.
Nature theory suggest that exercise have a strong positive correlation between being alert and having structure that everyone benefits from.
In observing a normal newborn's behaviors and activities, reflexes play an important role. They help to identify normal brain and nerve activity. In my observation of Baby A, she demonstrated reflexes of rutting in finding the nipple of her bottle, sucking, head turning and grasping of my fingers. Although she was born full-term, she was quite small in stature and weight. She also showed alertness to senses of sight, hearing, taste and touch. Of course, at first, she slept most of the time while she was in my care, but as she aged, she became more active and alert. The key element to keeping Baby A happy was taking care of her physical needs first…diaper changes, feeding and burping. Although she is still very small in weight and height, she shows no sign of delayed development and is now a happy, healthy toddler.
Thankfully, it is hard for most people to imagine a tiredness and weakness of body that would keep one confined to a bed. There are people today who have lived a very active lifestyle for years and have suddenly found themselves burdened by a feeling of bodily weariness they never knew was possible. It all happens so swiftly and surprisingly that many are terrified by these changes taking place.
