The Effect Of Dual-Task Training On Motor And Cognitive Performance In School-Age Children
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dual task training on performance in school-age children. Although studies on this subject in the world are limited, a comprehensive study on school-age children is needed.

MATERIAL AND METHOD:

Evaluation will begin by applying demographic information and the Physical Activity Survey for Children.
The evaluations to be made will primarily evaluate the child's performance on a single cognitive task in a supported sitting position on a chair, without a motor task.
To evaluate single motor performance, a 2-minute walk test and a 30-second sit-stand test will be applied.
Dual task evaluations will be carried out by adding a cognitive task while applying the 2-minute walk and 30-second sit-to-stand test.
Walking speed will be evaluated with the 10m walk test.
Balance parameter will be evaluated with functional reaching test.
Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), participating children will be asked to score the difficulty of cognitive and motor performance as a number between 0 and 10.
Walking speeds will be normalized by measuring lower extremity lengths.
The children will be randomly divided into two groups and the study group will be given dual-task training by creating dual-task situations during the activities carried out in physical education classes.
After 4 weeks, appropriate analyzes will be made with the data obtained as a result of the evaluations performed by the same evaluator.

As a result of this study, motor and cognitive performance in single-task conditions in typically developing children will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance will be detected in dual-task situations. The gains to be obtained as a result of the training will also reveal the importance of implementing dual task training in school-age children.
