About

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.

Full 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.
