Summary

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of dual-task aerobic exercise training on attention, balance, and quality of life in children with Specific Learning Disorder.

Detailed description

Specific Learning Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in basic academic skills such as reading, writing, language comprehension, mathematical calculations, and information processing, despite normal or above-normal intellectual capacity. Although the primary difficulties experienced by individuals diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder involve impairments in acquiring academic skills such as learning and performing mathematical calculations, various deficiencies have also been observed in physical domains such as balance and motor coordination. No previous studies have been identified in the literature examining the effects of dual-task focused aerobic exercises on individuals diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder. The investigators hypothesize that dual-task focused aerobic exercise training administered to children with Specific Learning Disorder will have positive effects on attention, balance, and quality of life.
