简要总结
The cognitive development in children involves fundamental changes in their thinking and understanding of the environment, enhancing skills such as attention, memory, and problem-solving. This development is linked to intelligence and mental processes, positively affecting academic performance. The prefrontal cortex, the seat of executive functions, undergoes maturation, crucial for planning and behavior regulation. Factors such as rest, language learning, and physical activity influence these functions. The study highlights the interconnection between executive functions and cognitive development in children, emphasizing the importance of early stimulation. Physical activity, especially strength training, emerges as a determinant in improving cognition and executive functions, with intensity playing a crucial role. Therefore, the aim is to investigate the effect of strength training, focusing on increased intentional execution speed compared to a constant low-speed approach.
详细描述
The training program will last 8 weeks and a frequency of 3 times / week.
During the week 0 the initial evaluation will be developed. Between weeks 1-8, the training program will be addressed. In week 9, all the changes made in all the measured variables will be evaluated.
Both groups will follow the same training program involving multi-joint exercises, but the Fast group will perform the concentric phase at maximum intentional speed. The Conventional Group will execute all exercises at controlled speeds.

结局指标
主要结局
Baseline of inhibition control
时间窗: Week 0
To measure the inhibitory control, the "Stroop test" will be used. It is a short test and consists of 3 parts. In the first part they must read the greatest number of words in a sheet with a total of 100 words that appear in 5 columns. For 45 seconds they should read the largest number of words. At the end of the time the number will be written down of words read. Next, they should identify colors from a list of symbols without meaning, but colored in different colors. The subject will have to identify and name the greatest number of colors. Finally, the subject is given a list of words with the name of colors, but written with a different color from the one the word refers to.This test aims to assess the inhibitory control.
