To compare the effects of different in-class physical exercise interventions on cognitive function and mathematics achievement in primary school children.
Participants included 157 students from 2nd and 3rd grades assigned to three intervention groups.
Interventions (CARDIO, BALANCE, MENTAL) were conducted daily for 15 minutes over 5 weeks.
Cognitive function was measured using the KoKi concentration test, and mathematics achievement assessed with a curriculum-based assessment.
All groups showed increased concentration levels, with BALANCE and MENTAL groups showing significant math achievement improvements.
Students with lower concentration scores benefitted more from BALANCE and MENTAL in simpler math tasks.
BALANCE and MENTAL breaks positively impacted concentration and mathematics performance.
