dc.description.abstractThis study aims to determine the influence of regular physical activity on attention among 4th and 5 th graders. A total of 60 4 th and 5 th graders aged between 9-11 participated in the study. This is an experimental study which employs a pretestposttest control group design. The experimental and control groups consisted of 30 children each, who did and did not engage in sports activities respectively. The data were collected using personal information form and Bourdon Attention Test, and analyzed using Gretl software package with multiple regression analysis. The results show that physically active children had significantly higher attention levels compared to sedentary children (p<0.05). In conclusion, engaging in physical activities regularly and under the supervision of a trainer positively affects attention development in 4 th and 5 th graders.
