About this study
Official title: The Effect of Coordinative-Based Physical Activity Practices on Motor Competence, Cognitive Function and Mood in Adolescents
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.
Read the 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.

"Coordinative-Based Physical Activity Practices" training groupOther
Also called Coordinative-Based Physical Activity Practices" program 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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in motor competence performance (KTK3+ Test Batery)
The KTK3+ test battery, supported by a hand-eye coordination task, was used to assess children's motor competence. It is determined that KTK3+ test was a highly valid and reliable measurement tool to be used by Turkish children. KTK3 measures general gross motor coordination. By adding a throwing and catching task to the KTK3 test form, the KTK3+ test battery covering three fundamental motor skill domains (movement, balance, and object control) was developed. The KTK3+ test includes balancing backwards (BB), moving sideways (MS), jumping sideways (JS), and hand-eye coordination task (EHC).
Measured: before and at the end of the 8-week intervention
Changes in inhibitory control (Go/no-go test)
The Go/No-Go test is the most widely used in inhibitory control assessment. In this study, a computer-based Go/No-Go test was applied. The test consists of five sections in total. Each section consists of 40 trials and each section contains 20 X (go) stimuli and 20 O (no-go) stimuli. A rest period of 10 seconds was given between the sections. There were 100 X (go) and 100 O (no-go) stimuli in total. These stimuli are displayed on the screen for 50 milliseconds and then there is a black screen for 1450 milliseconds.
Measured: before and at the end of the 8-week intervention.
Changes in mental rotation (Mental Rotation Test)
Mental rotation is defined as the ability to visualize the position and movement of a two- or three-dimensional object in space. As a result of neuroimaging studies showing that mental rotation and movement readiness may have common mechanisms in the premotor cortex, it has been suggested that there is a link between mental rotation test performance and physical activity. In this study, a computer-based mental rotation test was used. The test consists of a total of 16 trials. There are four images on the screen and these images are created by adding 10 cubes end to end. While the image on the left is the reference, only one of the other three images is a rotated view of the reference image in 3D space. The other two images are mirror images of the reference image. The correct answers in the first eight questions were rotated on the X axis and the correct answers in the other eight questions were rotated on the Z axis.
Measured: before and at the end of the 8-week intervention.
Changes in mood (Brunel Mood Scale)
Brunel mood scale was developed by Terry and colleagues. The scale was adapted into Turkish by Soylu and colleagues. The scale consists of six (6) sub-dimensions and 24 items. In the adapted study, internal consistency was reported as α=.83 for the anger subscale, α=.81 for the confusion subscale, α=.81 for the depression subscale, α=.81 for the fatigue subscale, α=.88 for the tension subscale and α=.75 for the vitality subscale. In the current study, α=.76 for the anger subscale, α=.73 for the confusion subscale, α=.77 for the depression subscale, α=.83 for the fatigue subscale, α=.82 for the tension subscale and α=.80 for the vitality subscale.High scores on the scale indicate a high mood value.
Measured: before and at the end of the 8-week intervention

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Changes in motor competence performance (KTK3+ Test Batery) (time frame: before and at the end of the 8-week intervention). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
