Such nonsense leads to schemes like Brain Gym, an " educational kinesiology" programme once backed by the British government, which claimed that some pupils should stretch, bend and emit an " energy yawn" while doing their sums.

这样的无稽之谈催生了一些无益之举，比如英国政府曾经支持过的一个" 教育运动学" 项目——健脑操（Brain Gym）。该项目称有些学生在做算术练习时应该做做拉伸弯弯腰，再打个" 提神呵欠" 。
