This New York Times article offers a handy overview of research into the importance of movement for learning.

However, before you read it, you have to stand up and move around for three minutes.

(By the way, if you’re interested in gestures–that is small, specific motions–rather than movement–that is full body actions–you should check out Sian Beilock’s book How the Body Knows its Mind.)
