Can exercise programs sharpen Kids' bodies and brains?

This trial asks whether progressive functional training—exercises like sit-to-stand, jumping, and obstacle walking that get harder over time—can improve motor skills in school-going children aged 6 to 12 better than dual-task training, which combines physical moves with mental challenges. Researchers will split 66 typically developing children into two groups and train them for several weeks, measuring balance, coordination, strength, and attention. The goal is to see which approach best supports motor-cognitive integration in everyday school life.
