Since the creation of Eduball educational balls in 2001, numerous pedagogical studies have been conducted in kindergartens and primary schools to determine the effects of physical activities using them.
Previous research indicates that combining physical and mental activity in physical activities has a positive effect on children’s acquisition of knowledge and skills in the field of Polish language (reading and writing skills) and mathematics.
