The relevant scientific explorations in this regard, has entailed investigation of consequent pain, muscle activity and related fatigue. General fatigue reportedly alters the sensation of thirst and salivary viscosity. Fatigue, thirst and saliva viscosity is also related to neurological performance and alacrity. Moreover, general fatigue is also reflected in eye muscles and visual processing is an integral part of learning in school children. The purpose of this review is to explore these facets of physical activity in relation to schoolbag carriage and in the process extracting the lacunae that exists in exploring the physical activity schoolbag carriage. Keywords: schoolbag carriage, saliva viscosity, thirst, cognition, fatigue, critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF).
