Beyond Aerobic Fitness: Effects of Coordination and Aerobic Exercise on Executive Functions in School-Aged Children
Beyond Aerobic Fitness: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Effects of Coordination and Aerobic Exercise on Executive Functions in School-Aged Children
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and coordination-based exercise on executive functions in school-aged children aged 10 to 12 years. Executive functions, including working memory and selective attention, are essential cognitive skills that support learning, academic achievement, problem-solving, and daily functioning.
A total of 78 healthy children will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: an Aerobic Exercise Group, a Coordination Exercise Group, or a Control Group. Participants in the intervention groups will complete supervised exercise sessions lasting 40 minutes, three times per week, for 14 weeks. The aerobic exercise program will include activities designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, while the coordination exercise program will involve tasks requiring motor control, balance, bilateral coordination, and cognitive engagement. Participants in the control group will continue their usual school activities without additional structured exercise.
Working memory and selective attention will be assessed before and after the intervention using standardized neuropsychological tests. The findings of this study may improve understanding of how different types of physical activity influence cognitive development in children and may help educators and health professionals design more effective school-based physical activity programs that support both physical and cognitive health.

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm |
Intervento / Trattamento |
|---|---|
|
Sperimentale: Aerobic Exercise Group
Participants completed a supervised aerobic exercise program for 14 weeks, consisting of 40-minute sessions conducted three times per week.
The program included high-intensity interval activities, sprint running, and game-based aerobic exercises designed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.

Participants completed a supervised aerobic exercise program for 14 weeks.
Exercise sessions were conducted three times per week and lasted 40 minutes each.
The intervention included high-intensity interval activities, sprint running, and game-based aerobic tasks designed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.
Exercise intensity was monitored using heart rate monitors, and participants maintained an intensity corresponding to 65% to 85% of their age-predicted maximum heart rate.

Sperimentale: Coordination Exercise Group
Participants completed a supervised coordination-based exercise program for 14 weeks, consisting of 40-minute sessions conducted three times per week.
Activities included jump-rope combinations, dynamic balance exercises, bilateral coordination tasks, and multidirectional movement tasks requiring cognitive engagement.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?
Misure di risultato primarie
Misura del risultato |
Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Working Memory
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and Week 14
|
Working memory performance will be assessed using the Visual-Auditory Digit Span Test.
The test evaluates the ability to temporarily store, manipulate, and recall information through auditory and visual modalities.
Higher scores indicate better working memory performance.
|
Baseline and Week 14
|
|
Selective Attention
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and Week 14
|
Selective attention will be assessed using the d2 Test of Attention.
Outcome measures include concentration performance, processing speed, and error rates.
Higher concentration scores indicate better selective attention performance.

Motor Coordination
Lasso di tempo: Baseline
|
Motor coordination will be evaluated using the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK) test battery.
The assessment includes balance, jumping, and movement coordination tasks, with scores converted into an overall Motor Quotient.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Lasso di tempo: Baseline
|
Cardiorespiratory fitness will be assessed using the 20-meter shuttle run test.
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) will be estimated from test performance.
