The experimental condition will take place in the school settings during the school day through a between-subject design with a total of two measurements, pre, and post-test. Using the latest advances, the transient effects of the experimental conditions on cognitive and academic performance will be measured. The experimental condition was crafted through a qualitative design involving semi-structured interviews with teachers (n = 41) and members of the management team (n = 16), along with questionnaires administered to students (n = 600). To enhance and ensure its sustainability, the same process will be replicated after the intervention. Interviews and questionnaires were meticulously crafted by the RE-AIM framework, and subsequently validated through a rigorous process involving an expert panel (n = 30) utilizing the Delphi methodology. This project has the potential to substantially contribute to the field of acute physical activity and could have a meaningful transference on the educational system. This method might be prescribed as an effective teaching strategy., conditionsModule conditions: Physical Activity, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 600, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Physical activity interacting with a video, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Academic achievement, primaryOutcomes measure: Inhibition-attention and cognitive flexibility, primaryOutcomes measure: Working memory, primaryOutcomes measure: Selective attention, primaryOutcomes measure: Design of active breaks: semi-structured questionnaires, primaryOutcomes measure: Design of active breaks: semi-structured interviews, secondaryOutcomes measure: Physical activity patterns, secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-report physical activity patterns, secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-report sedentary patterns, secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-report physical fitness, secondaryOutcomes measure: Socioeconomic level, secondaryOutcomes measure: Student's behavior, secondaryOutcomes measure: Body composition, secondaryOutcomes measure: Creativity, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 10 Years, maximumAge: 12 Years, stdAges: CHILD, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: University of the Balearic Islands, city: Palma, state: Balearic Islands, zip: 07122, country: Spain, geoPoint lat: 39.56939, lon: 2.65024, hasResults: False
