Abstract:

This thesis aims to study the determinants and trajectories of cognitive development, as well as the role of physical activity on cognitive and brain development in children aged 4 to 14 years old. We used data from two Spanish cohorts (INMA and BREATHE) and one Dutch cohort (Generation R). Teachers reported Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms of the participants through questionnaires. Cognitive development, specifically of attention and working memory, was tested by using computerized-based tasks. Growth trajectories were constructed based on four repeated cognitive

The Rorschach records and Wechsler Intelligence Scale scores of sixty-six children between the ages of 5 and 13 were compared. Subjects in each group were from one of three conditions: children who have documented histories of physical abuse, children referred for clinical intervention with no history of abuse, and a community sample of children with no documented history of abuse or psychological treatment. Data from the groups were analyzed to examine evidence of increased reliance on ego functions related to motor activity and concurrent deficits in other areas of ego function by subjects i

Abstract:

Clinically significant motor impairment affects 50-100% of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Although not included in the diagnostic criteria, research suggests that motor impairments appear during infancy, precipitate the onset and progression of classical autistic symptomology, and are associated with the severity of autist deficits. Presently, few studies directly address motor impairment in ASD. In those that do, physical education, exercise, and exergaming interventions have been found to enhance motor skill proficiency. Little is known about the effect of unstructured physical a

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore perceived physical competence and participation in physical activity of children with physical awkwardness. Children with physical awkwardness are those without known neuromuscular problems but who have difficulty in learning and performing motor skills. Participants were 135 children, 31 with physical awkwardness and 104 without any motor deficiency. The age ranged from 5 to 11 years. It was hypothesized that children with physical awkwardness would have lower levels of perceived physical competence and would participate less in physical activity than

A better understanding of the association of the environment to young children's physical activity is needed to design effective behavioral interventions and to improve communities' infrastructures in ways that support the development of healthy behaviors.

The survey was sent to 153 physical educators from Montreal and Halifax; a 63.4% return rate resulted. The most frequent aspect of self-determination included in their teaching was the opportunity to "develop a sense of belonging in the class", while "choice-making" was provided least frequently.
