Our study is exploring whether combining physical activity and thinking in a fun game can improve brain function in children who are 11-12 years old!
What your participation will involve:
- Children participating in this study will be scheduled for two 45-60 minute visits in the INfant and Child Health Lab at U of T
- In visit one, we will ask children to perform some fitness assessments. In visit two, children will be randomly assigned to either (1) Physical activity using a life-sized Connect 4 board, (2) Physical activity with bingo dabbers, and (3) Cognitive activity with normal sized Connect 4
- Before and after the activity, we will ask children how they are feeling, and we will give them 3 games to do that assess brain functioning
- You will receive $10 for each appointment and reimbursement for travel and parking costs
