Brief Summary

The objective of this quasi-experimental study design was to examine effects of the coordinated-bilateral ball skills (CBBS) intervention on cognitive functions and aerobic fitness in elementary school students. The hypotheses of the study were: students in the intervention group will show a significant higher level of cognitive functions and aerobic fitness compared to the control students.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in D2 Test of Attention being assessed

  The d2 Test of Attention is a standardized paper and pencil letter-cancellation test that measures neuropsychology performance of the students in the areas of sustained and selective attention and concentration

  Baseline and post-intervention test (immediately after the intervention)

• Change in Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER)® test being assessed

  A valid FITNESSGRAM PACER® test (15-meter version for school-aged children) was used to assess students' cardiorespiratory endurance during a PE lesson in the school gymnasium.

  Baseline and post-intervention test (immediately after the intervention)

Model Details: This study used 2 arms, quasi experimental study design with one intervention group and one control group. The intervention group included fourth-grade students of two fourth-grade classes taught by the physical education teacher who received the coordinated-bilateral ball skills (CBBS) intervention training at each of the five elementary schools. The control group included fourth-grade students of other two fourth-grade classes taught by the physical education teacher who did not receive the CBBS intervention training at each of the five elementary schools.
