Family workouts may boost brain power: study tests Mother-Child exercise effects on cognition
NCT ID NCT07677345
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study investigates whether exercising together or separately influences brain function, cognitive performance, mood, and parent-child connection in mother-child pairs. Mothers and their children (ages 4-12) will complete two fitness sessions—one together and one in separate classes—while wearing portable EEG devices to measure brain activity. The goal is to see if community-based brain research is feasible and to inform future family-centered physical activity programs.
