详细描述
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of Active Breaks on motor, academic and cognitive performance in elementary school children. 159 children were recruited: 92 for experimental group (EG) and 67 for Control Group(CG); after the baseline assessment, the EG classes were randomly assigned into three experimental groups: creativity AB (CREAT; n = 30 ), fitness AB (FIT; n =31 ) and combined AB (COM; n= 31 ) . Specifically, the EG carried out an active break intervention for 12 weeks during curricular time, repeated twice a day, with the duration of 10 minutes, three times a week. CG did not performed any type of active breaks.
