Lion Tracks: How CrossFit Affects Thinking in Moms and Kids
This study looks at how mothers and their children's brains respond to a CrossFit workout together. It uses a head cap (EEG) to measure brain activity while you exercise, helping researchers understand the connection between exercise and thinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Both you and your child speak English and can understand instructions.

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.
This study looks at how aerobic exercise (like running or biking) affects attention, planning, and decision-making in children ages 8-10 who have obesity. It compares kids who do the exercise program with those who don't, to see if exercise helps with brain function.
This study tests whether a home exercise program (via a phone app) can help children with epilepsy think better, sleep better, and feel better overall. Researchers will measure brain function and fitness to see if the exercises make a difference.
