The effect of acute cognitively engaging physical activity breaks on children's executive functions: Too much of a good thing?

摘要

Objectives: Acute bouts of physical activity may have an impact on children's executive functions. However, the role played by cognitive engagement (CE) during physical activity remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the study was to disentangle the separate and/or combined effects of physical exertion (PE) and CE, induced by classroom-based physical activity, on children's executive functions.
