Impact of Brain Cognition and Technology-Enhanced Physical Activity Intervention

April 19, 2016

Research Purpose:

  • To determine whether increased levels of physical activity, as reflected on the Fitbit, increased cognitive performance among 5th grade students at local elementary schools.
  • To examine how different levels of physical activity improved student’s health.

Conclusions: 

  • Physical activity did not have a dramatic influence on cognitive performance due to PAEBs leading students to improving d2 tests independent of physical activity.
  • Increased amount of very active minutes as measured by the Fitbit resulted in an increase likelihood of students being part of the Health Related Fitness Zone.
