The Impact of a Classroom-based Physical Activity Breaks on Cognitive Function, Adiposity and Fitness in Preschool Children (MOVI-HIIT)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MOVI intervention for Physical Activity and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 522 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Project which objective is a) to test the effectiveness, in preschool children, of an integrated physical activity intervention in the classroom based on intervallic training (MOVI-HIIT) on improving executive function, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and b) to evaluate teachers' perceptions of barriers and facilitating elements for the implementation and monitoring of MOVI-HIIT interventions in the classroom.

Timeline
Interventions
Each HIIT break will last approximately 5 minutes and will not require any specific materials. The structure of the HIIT-Rest will be as follows: 1' to describe the work to be done; 3' of work following the HIIT protocol: 6 repetitions of a functional movement such as squats, Jumping Jack or running on site for 10" at high intensity (85-90% of HR max) followed by 20" of recovery (65-75% of HR max); and 1' to perform a return to calm in order to lower the activation and prepare the student body to return to class activities. To increase the workload, and after evaluation of cardiorespiratory capacity, after 12 weeks of program, the HIIT protocol will be changed to 20" of high intensity work alternating with 10" of recovery.
