Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Specific Learning Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in basic academic skills such as reading, writing, language comprehension, mathematical calculations, and information processing, despite normal or above-normal intellectual capacity.

Although the primary difficulties experienced by individuals diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder involve impairments in acquiring academic skills such as learning and performing mathematical calculations, various deficiencies have also been observed in physical domains such as balance and motor coordination.

No previous studies have been identified in the literature examining the effects of dual-task focused aerobic exercises on individuals diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder. The investigators hypothesize that dual-task focused aerobic exercise training administered to children with Specific Learning Disorder will have positive effects on attention, balance, and quality of life.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants were divided into three groups: a dual-task aerobic exercise group, an aerobic exercise group, and a control group.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Outcome assessment will be performed by a investigator who was blinded to group allocation

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

dual-task aerobic exercise group

3 days a week, 50 minutes (10 warm-ups, 30 minutes of moderate-high intensity walking, 10 minutes of cooling down) moderate-high intensity treadmill aerobic training was provided under the supervision of a physiotherapist. In addition to aerobic training, some cognitive tasks were given to the participants during the treadmill walks.

Group Type OTHER

dual-task aerobic exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

In addition to aerobic training during treadmill walks, participants were given some cognitive tasks and were asked to continue these tasks throughout the exercise.
