Çocuk ve Ergenlerin Nörobilişsel Gelişimlerinde Aerobik Egzersizin Etkileri
Asil Ali Özdoğru ve Fatma Duygu Kaya Yertutanol
Amaç: Yaşam boyu süren insan gelişimin temel evrelerini oluşturan çocukluk ve ergenlik dönemlerinde yapılacak çevresel iyileştirmeler arasında yer alan aerobik egzersiz, çocukların fiziksel gelişim alanlarının yanı sıra bilişsel gelişimlerine de katkıda bulunmaktadır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada son 15 yıl içerisinde yayımlanmış görgül araştırmalar gözden geçirilerek aerobik egzersizin çocuk ve ergenlerin bilişsel işlev, akademik başarı ve ruh sağlıklarına etkileri incelenmiştir. Sonuç: Çocuk ve ergenlerin düzenli ve sürekli yaptıkları aerobik egzersizin; dikkat, konsantrasyon, tepki kararlılığı, bellek, bilişsel kontrol ve planlama gibi bir dizi yürütücü işlevi daha iyi seviyelere çıkarmada yardımcı olabildiği görülmüştür. Bilişsel gelişimle yakından ilgili olan akademik başarının da aerobik egzersizden olumlu şekilde etkilendiği, dil ve matematik gibi derslerde ve genel zekâ testlerinde gözlenen puan artışlarıyla ortaya koyulmuştur. Farklı çalışmalarda aerobik egzersiz ve sporun çocuk ve ergenlerin depresyon ve dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu gibi ruh sağlığı sorunlarında iyileşmeyle ilişkili olabildiği saptanmıştır. Tartışma: Bu çalışmada gözden geçirilen araştırmalar ışığında araştırmacı ve uygulamacılara bazı öneriler sunulmaktadır.

Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Neurocognitive Development of Children and Adolescents
Asil Ali Özdoğru and Fatma Duygu Kaya Yertutanol
Objective: Described as among the environmental enrichments to be made during childhood and adolescence, that constitute foundational stages of human development across the lifespan, aerobic exercise has been identifi ed to positively contribute to both physical and cognitive development of the child. Methods: In this study, relevant empirical research published within last 15 years that focused on the effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive function, academic achievement, and mental health of children and adolescents were reviewed. Results: Regular and continous aerobic exercise was found to improve a series of executive functions such as attention, concentration, response resolution, memory, cognitive control, and planning, in children and adolescents. Closely related to cognitive development, academic achievement was also found to be positively infl uenced by aerobic exercise, as demonstrated by observed increases in test scores of courses such as linguistics and mathematics, as well as overall intelligence test scores. Various studies have associated aerobic exercise and sports with an improvement in common psychiatric problems of childhood and adolescence, such as depression and attention defi cit and hyperactivity disorder. Discussion: Some recommendations for researchers and practitioners were presented in the light of research that has been covered and reviewed with this study.
