The Effect of Physical Activity Cards Adapted With Life Kinetik Exercises on Cognitive Functions and Problem-solving Skills in Middle School Students: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Stroop test TBAG form

时间窗: 12 week

The Stroop Test TBAG Form, physical activity cards adapted with Life Kinetik and physical activity card intervention programmes were used to evaluate their effects on attention and executive functions. The test was specifically applied to assess executive function components that measure focused and selective attention, resistance to distracting stimuli, and information processing speed. The test includes sections such as the Stroop interference score, test speed factor, total time, total number of errors, and total number of corrections. These sections were evaluated to examine the effect on attention and cognitive control processes.The completion time for each section of the test is recorded in seconds. As the time decreases, the performance shown on the test increases. The Stroop Test TBAG Form was developed as part of the BILNOT Battery, a measurement tool with proven validity and reliability, supported by the TÜBİTAK Basic Sciences Research Group.

Visual Auditory Number Sequences Test Form B

时间窗: 12 week

The Visual-Auditory Number Sequences Test Form B (VANST-B) was used to assess short-term attention and memory capacity. The test was administered to examine the impact of the physical activity cards adapted with Life Kinetik and physical activity card intervention programs on short-term attention and memory performance. The test includes auditory stimulation, visual stimulation, verbal expression, written explanation, and test total score sections. These sections were evaluated to examine their effects on short-term attention and memory. Before the test, the participants were informed about the application procedure and given a brief trial. Scoring was based on the longest sequence that the participant could correctly repeat.The lowest score obtained in the test is 0, and the highest score is 36. As the score increases, performance improves. The VANST-B is a valid and reliable measurement tool used to assess attention and memory capacity in children.

Cognitive Flexibility Scale

时间窗: 12 week

The Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) was used to assess participants' levels of cognitive flexibility. Total scores obtained from the scale were analyzed to determine the effect of the physical activity cards adapted with Life Kinetik and physical activity card intervention programs on cognitive flexibility. This measurement tool is a 6-item Likert-type scale consisting of 12 items and a single subscale. High scores indicate that individuals have high levels of cognitive flexibility, while low scores indicate that they have low levels of cognitive flexibility.

Problem solving inventory for elementary school children

时间窗: 12 week

The Problem Solving Inventory for Children at the Primary School Level was used to assess children's problem-solving skills. The total scores obtained from the inventory were analyzed to examine the effects of physical activity cards adapted with Life Kinetik and physical activity card interventions on problem-solving skills.This measurement tool is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 24 items and a single sub-dimension. High scores indicate that individuals have high problem-solving skills, while low scores indicate that problem-solving skills are low.
