Summary

The study aimed to determine the effect of coordinative-based physical activity practices on motor competence, cognitive function and mood levels of adolescent boys. It is thought to answer the questions about the effect of coordinative-based physical activity programs on motor competence, cognitive functions and mood in adolescent males and the level of this effect.

Detailed description

The study aimed to determine the effect of coordinative-based physical activity practices on motor competence, cognitive function, and mood levels of adolescent boys. The research group consisted of 40 volunteer male students (age = 14.38±0.40) studying in a public high school. After the baseline assessment, participants were randomly divided into training (TG; n=20) or control (CG; n=20) groups in a 1:1 ratio. The physical activity levels of the participants were determined using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The KTK3+ test battery was used to determine the level of motor competence. In the evaluation of cognitive functions, the Go/No-Go test was used to measure inhibition control, and the Mental Rotation test was used for spatial-spatial cognition. The Brunel Mood Scale was used to determine the mood level of the participants.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	"Coordinative-Based Physical Activity Practices" training group	In the first session, participants were asked to fill in an information form, including demographic information. They were asked to complete the Brunel Mood Scale and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). participants' height and body weight were measured. Participants' height was measured with a portable statiometer. Body weight was measured with a digital scale witha precision of 0.1 kg. In the second session, Go/No-Go and mental rotation tests, which are used to evaluate the cognitive functions of the participants, were administered to the participants. The KTK3+ motor competence test was used to determine the motor competence of the participants.The tests were administered to the participants in the same order and by the same researchers. Before the assessment of KTK3+ test of 5 minutes of running and 5 minutes of dynamic stretching was performed. Coordination-based physical activity applied to the exercise group continued for 25-30 minutes twice for 8 weeks.
