| Scientific title | Acute effect of exercise on attention in children |
| Study acronym | LEAPFROG ACUTE |
| Study objectives | There is increasing evidence that children lead sedentary lives. An inactive lifestyle not only increases risk of obesity and metabolic disease, but may also have adverse effects on cognitive function. However, effects of physical activity on cognition in children are unclear and two recent systematic reviews or meta analyses have called for new randomised controlled trials (RCT). The aims of the study are: 1. To test the hypothesis that an acute bout of aerobic exercise might have effects on attention in 6-8 year olds 2. To pilot for a future larger scale RCT |
| Ethics approval(s) | University of Glasgow Medical Faculty Ethics Committee (project number: FM03605) |

| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Attention - measured using the Attentional Network Task (ANT) |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
Process evaluation (intensity of the acute bout of exercise, using accelerometry) |
