• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

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.

Detailed Description

Fourth-grade students at 5 elementary schools were recruited to participate. At each participating school, two fourth-grade classes were assigned to the CBBS intervention group and other two fourth-grade classes were assigned to the control group. The students in the intervention group received two, 30-min CBBS physical education (PE) lessons taught by the physical education teacher who were trained in implementation of the two CBBS lessons per week for 16 weeks. In contrast, the students in the control group received regular two PE lessons per week for 16 weeks taught by the other physical education teacher who were not be involved in the CBBS intervention training. All participating students who returned their parent/guardian' signed consent form were pre-tested and post-tested (immediately after the 16-week intervention) in cognitive functions and aerobic fitness. Descriptive statistics and linear mixed models were performed to analyze the data. All data analysis were conducted in Physical Activity and Health Lab of the School of Kinesiology at University of Michigan

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
CBBS intervention group	CBBS intervention	The CBBS intervention group received the 16-week intervention, including 16 CBBS lessons in basketball unit (two 40-minute lessons/week, 8 weeks) and 16 CBBS lessons in soccer unit (two 40-minute lessons/week, 8 weeks) during the 2018-2019 school year.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in D2 Test of Attention being assessed	Baseline and post-intervention test (immediately after the intervention)	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
Change in Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER)® test being assessed	Baseline and post-intervention test (immediately after the intervention)	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.
