NCT ID NCT07427329
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding physical activity to the school day can reduce mental fatigue and improve thinking, emotions, and social skills in high school students. About 434 teenagers in 3rd and 4th year of secondary school will try different active teaching methods, like moving during lessons or active breaks. Researchers will measure fatigue, brain activity, and academic performance to see if these strategies help.
