Intense Exercise with Mindfulness for Kids' Thinking Skills
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 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.
This study compares the short-term effects of two types of exercise—moderate-intensity continuous exercise and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—on thinking skills and how your body responds during and after exercise.
