Introduction and Objective: The impact of modern life has led to an increase in sedentary behavior and a decrease in physical activity among children. One of the most accessible solutions in any school or public urban space is the creation of a dynamic playground. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 32 sessions of dynamic playground training on the motor and cognitive performance of 10-year-old overweight girls.
Methodology: The participants of this study included 30 overweight 10-year-old girls, selected randomly from schools in Hamedan city based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). Physical performance was assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2). Executive functions were also evaluated using the Stroop test and simple reaction time tasks. To compare results, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used.
Results: The results indicated that dynamic playground training significantly improved running speed and balance (p < 0.05). Furthermore, after the intervention, there was an increase in the number of correct responses and a decrease in the number of unresponsive stimuli in both the reaction time test and the Stroop test (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, combined training like dynamic playground activities, which simultaneously engage cognitive and motor challenges, can have a positive effect on the neuromuscular system. These training, by creating a dynamic and interactive environment, not only enhance motor performance but also stimulate executive functions, making them a valuable intervention for overweight children. It is recommended that future studies explore the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms of these improvements, as well as the long-term sustainability of these interventions.
