Extra-curricular physical activity in the school-setting: effects on cognitive performance, emotional well-being and steroid hormones

A lack of concentration skills, limited coordinative skills, as well as behavioral and emotional problems often make students stand out in class. In this research project we aim to compare the long-term effects of additional aerobic activities with and without a coordinated focus on the cognitive skills of primary school children. We also examine the effect on the social and emotional behavior.
