The effects of physical activity on functional MRI activation associated with cognitive control in children: a randomized controlled intervention

The effects of physical activity on functional MRI activation associated with cognitive control in children: a randomized controlled intervention

This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the influence of a 9-month physical activity program on task-evoked brain activation during childhood. The results demonstrated that 8- to 9-year-old children who participated in 60+ minutes of physical activity, 5 days per wee...
