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.

Experimenteel: 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).

|
Actieve vergelijker: 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.

Verandering in grove motorische vaardigheden beoordeeld met de BOT-2
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (pre-interventie) en post-interventie (10 weken).
|
De Bruininks-Oseretsky Test voor Motorische Vaardigheid, Tweede Editie (BOT-2) evalueert grove motorische vaardigheden, waaronder balans, bilaterale coördinatie en loopsnelheid.
De standaardscore voor het Totale Motorische Samenstellende zal worden gerapporteerd.
De standaardscore varieert van een minimum van 20 tot een maximum van 80. Hogere scores duiden op betere grove motorische vaardigheid en coördinatie.

Change in Dynamic Postural Control Assessed by the Y-Balance
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (pre-intervention) ,6weeks and post-intervention (10 weeks).
|
Measures maximum controlled reach distance in three directions while maintaining a single-leg stance.
|
Baseline (pre-intervention) ,6weeks and post-intervention (10 weeks).

|
Change in Static Postural Control Assessed by the Single-Leg Stance Test with Eyes Closed
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (pre-intervention) ,6weeks and post-intervention 10weeks
|
Participants stand on one leg with their eyes closed.
The duration (in seconds) they can successfully maintain balance is recorded to evaluate static postural control and proprioceptive integration capacity.

Change in Lower Limb Coordination Assessed by the Side Hop Test
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (pre-intervention) ,6weeks and post-intervention 10weeks
|
Participants perform continuous lateral jumps back and forth over a set distance within a limited time.
The total number of successful jumps is recorded to reflect lower limb coordination and rapid posture adjustment ability.
