ÇOCUKLAR ÜZERİNDE YAPILAN ÇALIŞMALAR ÇERÇEVESİNDE AEROBİK EGZERSİZ, FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE VE YÖNETİCİ İŞLEVLER

Aerobik egzersizin fiziksel faydalarının yanında bilişsel faydalarına olan ilgi giderek artmaktadır. Bu çerçevede aerobik egzersizin, prefrontal korteks ile ilişkili yönetici işlevler üzerine olan etkileri son zamanlarda en çok çalışılan konular arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; yönetici işlevler kavramına ve literatürde yer alan paradigmalara değinmek, çocuklar üzerinde yapılan çalışmalar çerçevesinde fiziksel aktivite ve aerobik egzersizin yönetici işlevler üzerine etkilerini ve potansiyel etki mekanizmalarını özetlemektir. Çalışmada literatürde yer alan ve çocuklar üzerinde gerçekleştirilen araştırmalar çerçevesinde, aerobik egzersiz ve fiziksel aktivitenin yönetici işlevler üzerine olan etkileri incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak aerobik egzersiz ve fiziksel aktivite çocukların yönetici işlevleri üzerine olumlu etkilere sahiptir ve bu olumlu etkilerin olası mekanizmalarını inceleyen daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

AEROBIC EXERCISE, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF STUDIES ON CHILDREN

There is an increasing interest in the physical benefits as well as the cognitive benefits of aerobic exercise. In this context, the effects of aerobic exercise on the executive functions associated with the prefrontal cortex have recently been among the most studied topics. The purpose of this study is; explaining the concept of executive functions and the paradigms in the literature, summarizing the effects of physical activity and aerobic exercise on executive functions in children and potential mechanisms of the effects. The effects of aerobic exercise and physical activity on executive functions were investigated in the literature on studies conducted on children. As a result, aerobic exercise and physical activity have positive effects on the children's executive functions, and further research is needed to examine the possible mechanisms of these positive effects.
