Laburpena

Active breaks in educational settings are introduced as a proposal to increase youth’s daily physical activity, thus it easies youth to get closer to the World Health Organization’s (2010) recommendations. Beyond the well-known benefits of physical activity on the health and well-being of children and adolescents, cognitive benefits have also been observed in several cases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand the effect of a period of active breaks on the attention and concentration of children in Primary Education. A total of 73 children (29 boys and 44 girls) between 9 and 11 years participated in this study. An intervention of active breaks, composed of 10 sessions, was developed during school hours. The results of this study showed an increase in children's attention and concentration after the intervention. These results suggest that 15 minutes of daily cognitively engaging physical activity may help significantly improve children's cognition. This may benefit their academic performance. Therefore, active breaks are recommended to be included in schools’ daily routines.
