During the eight weeks, children in the coordinative exercise intervention group participated in sessions twice a week, each lasting 20 minutes. The foundational movement patterns tailored to the specific purpose were organized in a game format suitable for preschool-aged children. These foundational movement patterns comprise open-ended tasks progressing from simple to complex, with motor planning as a prerequisite. As the exercise intervention was game-based, the sessions were maintained as a fun, active, and social learning environment for the children.

The control group continued their regular preschool classes without any intervention.

Children in the coordinative exercise intervention group will be encouraged to participate in sessions twice a week, each lasting 20 minutes. The foundational movement patterns tailored to the specific purpose were organized in a game format suitable for preschool-aged children. These foundational movement patterns comprise open-ended tasks progressing from simple to complex, with motor planning as a prerequisite. As the exercise intervention was game-based, the sessions were maintained as a fun, active, and social learning environment for the children. Duration of the intervention is eight weeks,

Motor competence will be assessed through the Body Coordination Test for Children (KTK). The Body Coordination Test for Children (KTK)+ test battery, supported by a hand-eye coordination task, will be used to assess the children's motor competence and it measures general gross motor coordination The Body Coordination Test for Children (KTK) test items include backward balancing (BB), sideways movement (MS), sideways jumping (JS), and hand-eye coordination tasks (EHC). All test items demonstrated good test-retest reliability: BB = 0.80, MS = 0.84, JS = 0.95, and EHC 0.87

IC will be measured using the Go/No-Go test. The Go/No-Go task is a protocol commonly used to measure inhibitory control in young children. The convergent validity of inhibitory control measurement has been observed to be good in this age group, with a strong correlation with the NIH Toolbox, which is frequently used and has a similar structure (r (80) = .40, p < 0.001). Additionally, internal consistency analyses of the Go/No-Go task revealed good reliability for the "Go" stimulus (Cronbach α = 0.95) and the "No-Go" stimulus (Cronbach 'sα = 0.84). In the Go/No-Go task, the children will be instructed to respond to the "go" stimulus (catch fish) by pressing the screen and to withhold their response to the "no-go" stimulus (avoid sharks). The practice trials consisted of 5 blocks of "catch fish" trials, five blocks of "avoid sharks" trials, and then a mixed block of 10 trials. After a short rest period, the task was completed with 75 stimulus trials divided into three test blocks (each

The test course will be set with markers placed five yards (4.57m) to the left and right of the starting line, with indicators (motivational for the participants' age) placed accordingly. A photocell gate will be placed at the starting line to record repeated passage times. Before the start of the application, the participants took their position and when ready, they touched the marker on the right first, then the marker on the left, and finally crossed the starting line to complete the test.
