研究背景许多研究表明，体育活动对儿童的健康有积极的影响，如改善心肺功能和减少肥胖。体育活动也被发现对学习成绩和认知功能有积极影响。然而，有几个高质量的RCT研究这个话题，目前的研究结果仍然存在争议。MethodsThis协议描述了集群随机对照试验评估的影响，以学校为基础的运动干预儿童在蒙古。干预包括3分钟的高强度间歇训练，结合音乐，每周两次在学校进行研究期间。参与者是蒙古乌兰巴托苏赫巴托尔区公立小学四年级的儿童。参与者按学校随机分组，并分配到干预组或对照组。主要结果是学术成就。次要结果是肥胖/超重，体能功能，生活方式，心理健康，和认知function.DiscussionThis集群随机对照试验的设计和实施，以评估运动干预对学习成绩，认知功能，身心健康的有效性学龄儿童在蒙古。这项研究将为促进低收入和中等收入国家儿童的体育活动提供证据。于2018年2月1日注册。
BackgroundMany studies have demonstrated positive effects of physical activity on children's health such as improved cardiorespiratory function and decreased obesity. Physical activity has also been found to have positive effects on academic achievement and cognitive function. However, there are few high quality RCT studies on this topic at present and the findings remain controversial.MethodsThis protocol describes cluster randomized controlled trials assessing the impact of school-based exercise intervention among children in Mongolia. The intervention consists of 3-min sessions of high intensity interval training combined with music implemented two times a week at school during study periods. The participants are children in the fourth grade in public elementary schools in the Sukhbaatar district in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The participants are cluster randomized by school and allocated either to the intervention or control group. The primary outcome is academic achievement. Secondary outcomes are obesity/overweight, physical fitness function, lifestyle, mental health, and cognitive function.DiscussionThis cluster-RCT is designed and implemented to assess the effectiveness of exercise intervention on academic achievement, cognitive function, and physical and mental health among school-age children in Mongolia. This study will provide evidence to promote physical activities among children in low- and middle- income countries.Trial registrationUMIN: UMIN000031062. Registered on 1st February 2018.
