Effects of Exercise Combined With Cognitive Training on Motor Performance in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder

Effects of Exercise Combined With Cognitive Training on Balance, Motor Skills and Physical Fitness Among Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder(DCD) is a common neuro-developmental disorder in childhood, characterized by deficits in motor coordination. This study aimed to examine the effects of exercise combined with cognitive training versus exercise-only training on balance-postural control, gross motor skills and physical fitness in children with DCD.
Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Twenty children aged 7-11 years diagnosed with DCD were randomly allocated into experimental group(n=10) receiving 10-week combined exercise-cognitive training and control group(n=10) receiving exercise-only training. Training was implemented 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per session for 10 weeks. Outcome assessments were performed at baseline, week-6 and week-10. Motor performance indicators included Y-balance test, eyes-closed single-leg stand, BOT-2 gross-motor sub-scale and national student physical fitness tests.

Experimental: Combined motor-cognitive training group
Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder received combined motor-cognitive training.
Each session integrated physical exercise and cognitive tasks to improve motor performance
|
Participants received 10-week training, 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per session.
Each session contained 30-minute fundamental motor-skill exercise (running, jumping, kicking, throwing, catching), plus 30-minute cognitive training consisting of action observation, motor-imagery guided tasks with picture/video prompts.
Training difficulty was progressively divided into basic phase(1-3w), advanced phase(4-6w), and integration phase(7-10w).
|
|
Comparador activo: Exercise-only training control group
children received general physical-activity training with the same frequency, duration and intensity as the experimental group, without additional cognitive tasks.
|
Participants received identical 30-minute fundamental motor-skill physical exercise same as experimental group each session.
Instead of cognitive training, children performed matched quiet non-cognitive rest activity for another 30 minutes, to equalize total trainer-contact time.
The whole intervention lasted 10 weeks, three sessions weekly, 60 minutes each session.

Cambio en las Habilidades Motoras Gruesas Evaluadas por el BOT-2
Periodo de tiempo: Línea de base (preintervención) y postintervención (10 semanas).
|
La Prueba Bruininks-Oseretsky de Competencia Motora, Segunda Edición (BOT-2) evalúa las habilidades motoras gruesas, incluyendo el equilibrio, la coordinación bilateral y la velocidad de carrera.
Se reportará la puntuación estándar del Compuesto Motor Total.
La puntuación estándar varía desde un mínimo de 20 hasta un máximo de 80. Puntuaciones más altas indican mejor competencia motora gruesa y coordinación.
