Feasibility and Fidelity of a Gross Motor-based Physical Activity Intervention on Cognition in Preschool-age Children (NCT05949866)
Feasibility and Fidelity of a Gross Motor-based Physical Activity Intervention on Cognitive Variables in Preschool-age Children From Low Socioeconomic Backgrounds.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study will be to examine the implementation and preliminary efficacy of a teacher taught gross motor skill-based physical activity (PA) intervention on cognitive variables in low low socio-economic (SES) preschoolers. The movement and cognition intervention will be implemented for 4 days per week for 6 months. Primary outcome variables will be processed evaluation data. Secondary outcome variables will be changes in children's cognitive function (executive functions and memory), gross motor skills, and PA levels at baseline, 3- and 6-month.
