Dual-task (DT) training significantly improved motor, cognitive, and dual-task performance in school-aged children. This suggests DT training should be more widely integrated into pediatric practices.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric physical therapy
  • Developmental neuroscience
  • Motor learning

Background:

  • Dual-task (DT) performance is crucial for daily activities in children.
  • Understanding the impact of targeted training on DT abilities is important for development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of a 4-week dual-task (DT) training program on motor, cognitive, and DT performance in school-aged children.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of DT training compared to regular physical education.

Main Methods:

  • 108 children aged 8-10 years participated.
  • Intervention group received weekly 40-minute DT training for 4 weeks.
  • Control group maintained regular physical education classes.
  • Motor and cognitive tasks were assessed under single-task and DT conditions.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed significant improvements in both single-task cognitive and motor performance.
  • No significant differences in task difficulty were found between groups.
  • The intervention group demonstrated significantly better adjusted posttest scores in the DT condition compared to the control group.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-task (DT) training is effective in enhancing cognitive, motor, and DT performance in school-aged children.
  • Pediatric professionals are encouraged to consider wider implementation of DT training.
  • This training can support functional improvements in children.
