Abstract
Abstract Objective This study investigated the effects of an 8-week Taekwondo program on the attention of children aged 7–8 years, exploring its potential as a motor intervention during a critical developmental period. Methods Forty children were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (EG, n = 20), which participated in a structured Taekwondo program (three 45-minute sessions/week at ≥ 60% HRmax), or a control group (CG, n = 20), which attended regular physical education classes. Attention was assessed pre- and post-intervention using tasks measuring stability, allocation, shifting,
