ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different speeds of strength training exercises can affect thinking skills in children aged 6 to 12 years old. The goal is to see if training at a faster pace can improve important skills like attention, memory, and problem-solving, which are all part of what we call "executive functions." These skills are essential for school success and overall development, and the study aims to understand how physical activity, particularly strength training, can enhance these abilities in young children.

To participate, children need to be between 6 and 12 years old and should be able to safely engage in physical exercise without any serious health issues or mental health conditions. Parents or guardians must also give their consent for their child to join. Although the study is not yet recruiting participants, it promises to provide valuable insights into how active lifestyles can support children's cognitive growth. If you think your child might be interested, keep an eye out for updates on when the trial begins!
