The importance of play and physical activity include many benefits on positively improving
health and well-being, enhancing children's and young people's thinking and performance in
school, improving their sleep and enabling confidence and skill building. However, some
children find it hard to learn and perform motor skills, and are at risk of decreased
participation in sports and physical activity and subsequently decreased physical fitness and
overall health and well-being.
Previous studies from the research group have explored the impact and recovery following
acute exercise at different intensities in children and adolescents with and without movement
difficulties. Following this, a pathway promoting physical activity and engagement has been
successfully established within schools for those with and without movement difficulties.
Taking the previous studies further, we want to specifically focus on the children's
performance and learning of a sporting skill, such as stepping, and the associated brain
activity changes, using available high resolution imaging techniques. This will help us
understand how these children perform and learn motor and sporting skills. Evidence obtained
from imaging alongside measures of movement has helped the development of optimal therapeutic
approaches for other conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's and will help us to develop
approaches to help children best learn motor skills and hence gain confidence in performing
sporting activities.

Inclusion Criteria: - 12-15 years old children (year 9 students only) with normal intelligence in the lowest quartile of fitness (30 with poor motor skill acquisition and performance affecting daily functioning, 30 who score in the lower 25% of fitness measures without poor motor skill acquisition and execution). Exclusion Criteria: - Behavioural/intellectual issues that prevent safe participation or may put the participant, investigators and others at risk. - Any contraindications to perform maximal exercise or physical training, as determined by the Physical Activity Health Questionnaire PARQ sent out to parents before screening. - Children suffering from muscular/neurological degenerative conditions or with uncontrolled epilepsy/seizures (must be stable epilepsy/on medication for greater than 12 weeks). - Surgical procedures in the previous 6 months. - If there are any concerns regarding a child being able to participate safely, we will ask parents/guardians to contact the GP/paediatrician/physiotherapist. - MRI Scanner: children with metal objects due to surgery or dental care cannot partake in the scanning part of the research. |
