Richard Bailey in his study, Physical Education and Sports in Schools: A Review of Benefits and Outcomes concludes that "overall, the available research evidence suggests that increased levels of physical activity in school—such as through increasing the amount of time dedicated to PE—does not interfere with pupils’ achievement in other subjects (although the time available for these subjects is consequently reduced) and in many instances is associated with improved academic performance."

That is probably true, because a lot of time is wasted in class due to kids extra energy that is NOT being used to learn.
