Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether brief, teacher-led movement activities woven into the school day can boost physical activity, attention, and academic performance in children aged 10 to 12. Around 300 students in grades 5 and 6 across six primary schools in Spain will be randomly assigned to either the Break4Brain Evolution programme or usual classroom practice. Researchers will track changes in executive function, academic achievement, and attention over one school year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a school-based classroom movement programme called Break4Brain Evolution, which includes active videos, physically active learning activities, an active card game, and teacher-led movement breaks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer schools a simple, low-cost way to improve children's physical activity, focus, and learning without extra equipment or gym time.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage effectiveness-implementation trial in a limited number of schools, so results may not apply broadly. The programme depends on teacher training and consistent use, which may vary widely.
