Baskin
Creating inclusive sports and activities for the well-being of all children, including those with disabilities, is a crucial and rewarding task for educators. This study utilised mixed methods to explore the impact of an inclusive physical education intervention called Baskin. Thirty-five primary school students and two students with intellectual disabilities participated in the study. Before and after the intervention, participants were engaged …
Short-term effects of physical and cognitive activity on selective attention in preschool children
This study examined how different activity types, high-intensity physical activity (HI-PA), moderate-intensity physical activity (MI-PA), and sedentary cognitively engaging activity (CA), influence distraction resistance in preschool children. Given the developmental immaturity of attentional control systems at this age, the study aimed to assess whether acute activity could enhance children's ability to filter irrelevant stimuli across visual an…
Building respect, fairness, and collaboration through physical education
Investigating Facilitators and Barriers for Active Breaks among Secondary School Students
Physical activity in the form of "active breaks" can be combined with academic instruction in primary school. However, few studies have examined the feasibility of conducting active breaks in secondary school. To address this gap, we conducted focus groups (FGs) regarding the implementation of an active breaks (ABs) protocol with 20 teachers and 10 secondary school students. Barriers/facilitators toward the implementation of ABs were classified u…
The impact of Covid-19 on physical activity behaviour in Italian primary school children
These findings outline the need for strategies to promote PA and reduce sedentary behaviours in children to prevent COVID-19 restriction long-term effects
Evaluation of feasibility, effectiveness, and sustainability of school-based physical activity “active break” interventions in pre-adolescent and adolescent students
The Effect of Structured Exercise on Short-Term Memory Subsystems
It has been shown that exercise positively affects cognitive abilities, such as frontal functions and long-term memory processes. We tried to understand whether different exercises (i.e., an open-skill activity, a team game, vs. a closed-skill activity, a circuit) might specifically influence different short-term-memory (STM) subsystems of working memory. We examined the effect of a single bout of open- and closed-skill exercises on three STM tas…
The Determinants of Health-Related Quality of Life in a Sample of Primary School Children
Parent proxy-report psychosocial health and mother's BMI should be considered as predictors of HRQoL for the psychosocial and physical domain. PA should be implemented in order to improve the HRQoL of primary school children
Active Breaks
Background: The school gives access to children, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender and socio-economic class and can be identified as the key environment in which to promote children's physical activity (PA). The guidelines of the European Union recommend accumulating at least 10-min bouts of PA to reach the daily 60 min. Active breaks (ABs) led by teachers inside the classroom represent a good strategy to promote PA. The aim of this pilot and …
A Multiple Targeted Research Protocol for a Quasi-Experimental Trial in Primary School Children Based on an Active Break Intervention
Results from the I-MOVE study will help to clarify the effects of incorporating ABs in the Italian school curriculum as a new public health strategy and an innovative school model oriented to the well-being of children and teachers for the best quality of school life
