"Coordinative-Based Physical Activity Practices" program training group

Control group: The control group continued to attend standard physical education classes. In addition, the control group was not allowed to participate in any physical activity program during the study period

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.

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).

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.

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.
