Intense Exercise with Mindfulness for Kids' Thinking Skills
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining high-intensity interval training (short, intense exercise bursts) with mindfulness recovery (focusing on the present moment) can improve thinking skills like focus and planning in children. It may help 10-to-12-year-olds who are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 10 and 12 years old.
- Your child should have an IQ of 85 or higher.
- Your child must be able to do physical exercise safely (based on a health screening).
- Your child cannot have a formal diagnosis of a cognitive disorder (like ADHD) or a neurological disease (like epilepsy).

This study tests whether short exercise breaks in the classroom can improve how children think and stay fit. Children will do simple physical activities during the school day, and researchers will measure changes in attention, memory, and physical fitness.
This study tests whether breaking up long periods of sitting with short bursts of high-intensity exercise can improve brain health. It is for people who are sedentary and not very active but otherwise generally healthy.
This study tests whether special breathing muscle exercises can improve thinking and memory in healthy young adults. Researchers will track how the training affects your brain performance over time.
This trial tests whether short bursts of intense exercise, called high-intensity interval training (HIIT), can improve memory and thinking skills in healthy young adults. If you are between 18 and 40 and can safely do vigorous exercise, you may be able to join.
This pilot study tests whether a high-intensity interval exercise routine is safe and doable for young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors. It may help you improve fitness and quality of life while researchers closely monitor safety.
This trial tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program can improve heart health and reduce risk factors like high blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure in school-age children. It's for children who have at least one of these problems and are not already doing intense exercise.
