The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) exercises into math class on the attention ability of elementary school students. A total of 48 third-year students from Chong Yang Elementary School in New Taipei City, were taken as the research participations, which were divided into a control group (25 students) and an experimental group (23 students). For the control group, there was no intervention of 10 minutes of MVPA exercises during math class. The experimental group went through a forty-minute class period, including thirty minutes of teaching and intervention of 10 minutes of MVPA exercises, thrice per week, for ten weeks. Detailed data concerning the attention performance of elementary school students were collected before and following the experiment. Research data analyzed through descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA independent samples. The findings of this study were as follows: After 10 minutes of MVPA exercises into math class, children belonging to the experimental group scored significantly better than those belonging to the control group in "focused attention," "selective attention," and "divided attention." However, variables on "continued attention" and "alternating attention" had no significant effect. Conclusion: Study results do not entirely agree with all assumptions, yet significance has partially reached. It is suggested that future research can explore the continuation effect of attention, students of different ages, and apply to other subjects. |
