Brief Summary
A group of 50 age-schooled adolescents was randomized into one intervention and another control group of 25 subjects each. After estimating one maximum repetition for all the participants in a previous session, the intervention group performed a resistance training based on a resistance exercise of 3 sets of 3 to 5 repetitions (90% of an estimated 1 RM) whereas the control group performed both stretching and balance exercises. Measures of executive functions ( i.e. a cognitive function associated with academic performance) were taken for all the participants before and after the training. Both independent and paired t-test will serve to check differences between and within groups respectively.

Strength Training
EXPERIMENTALThe intervention group performs a resistance training based on a resistance exercise of 3 sets of 3 to 5 repetitions (90% of an estimated 1 RM) and 3 minutes of resting time between sets.
Stretching
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe control group performs 3 exercises of stretching and balance during one minute each and three sets. One minute of resting time between sets.
Interventions
3 sets of 3 to 5 repetitions with 4 minutes of rest between sets. 90% load of 1 maximum repetition of a resistance exercise
3 sets of 3 exercises of stretching and balance of one minute each. One minute of resting time between sets.
