Detailed Description
The objective of this study is to track if daily participation in motor lab activities for school age children improves their academic performance. Academic performance is associated with motor skills, coordination, and executive function. Our objectives are to determine if daily participation in motor lab activities changes these skills, to better understand these relationships, track outcomes of children participating in motor lab intervention compared to non-intervention and children receiving standard level of care in the school, and to be able to follow the intervention students over time.
The specific aims of the study are:
- To investigate whether gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and physical fitness, predict executive function skills.
- To determine the relationship between these variables and academic performance.
- To examine the relationship between participation in motor lab activities and measures of change in fitness, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, executive function, and academic performance.
- To evaluate if participation in daily motor lab activities predicts fitness level, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, executive function, and academic success at the end of the school year and in the next school year.
