Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dual task training on performance in school-age children. Although studies on this subject in the world are limited, a comprehensive study on school-age children is needed.

MATERIAL AND METHOD:

* Evaluation will begin by applying demographic information and the Physical Activity Survey for Children.
* The evaluations to be made will primarily evaluate the child's performance on a single cognitive task in a supported sitting position on a chair, without a motor task.
* To evaluate single motor performance, a 2-minute walk test and a 30-second sit-stand test will be applied.
* Dual task evaluations will be carried out by adding a cognitive task while applying the 2-minute walk and 30-second sit-to-stand test.
* Walking speed will be evaluated with the 10m walk test.
* Balance parameter will be evaluated with functional reaching test.
* Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), participating children will be asked to score the difficulty of cognitive and motor performance as a number between 0 and 10.
* Walking speeds will be normalized by measuring lower extremity lengths.
* The children will be randomly divided into two groups and the study group will be given dual-task training by creating dual-task situations during the activities carried out in physical education classes.
* After 4 weeks, appropriate analyzes will be made with the data obtained as a result of the evaluations performed by the same evaluator.

As a result of this study, motor and cognitive performance in single-task conditions in typically developing children will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance will be detected in dual-task situations. The gains to be obtained as a result of the training will also reveal the importance of implementing dual task training in school-age children.
