The Effect of Morning Exercise on the Attention of Sixth Grade Elementary School Students

Abstract

　　本研究目的在於探討晨間運動對於國小六年級學童的注意力之影響，研究對象為臺中市111學年度某國小六年級學生共50人，扣除早自修參與運動社團之學生，分為實驗組21人與控制組21人。實施晨間運動前，兩組皆進行多向度注意力測驗為注意力前測。之後實驗組進行為期8週，每週2天，每天30分鐘的晨間運動，運動項目包含跑走運動以及跳繩運動；控制組則維持原本晨間作息。8週後兩組再進行後測。所得資料以SPSS FOR WINDOWS 19.0電腦統計軟體進行獨立樣本t檢定，以及相依樣本t檢定分析。研究結果發現：一、經過8週晨間運動介入後，對於國小六年級學童的選擇性注意力有顯著影響。二、經過8週晨間運動介入後，對國小六年級學童的分離性注意力無顯著影響。三、經過8週晨間運動介入後，對國小六年級學童的「持續性注意力」有提升但無顯著影響。結論：8週晨間運動能有效提升國小六年級學童的選擇性注意力。　　The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of morning exercise on the attention for sixth－grade elementary school students. The study involved a total of 50 sixth－grade students from a certain elementary school in Taichung City for the 111th academic year. Excluding students participating in early self－study and sports clubs， they were divided into an experimental group of 21 students and a control group of 21 students. Before implementing morning exercise， both groups underwent a multidimensional attention test as a pre－test.Subsequently， the experimental group engaged in 8 weeks of morning exercise， consisting of 2 days per week， with 30 minutes of exercise each day. The exercise activities included running and jumping rope. The control group maintained their regular morning routine. After 8 weeks， both groups underwent a post－test. The data obtained were analyzed using independent samples t－tests and dependent samples t－tests with SPSS FOR WINDOWS 19.0 statistical software. There are three finding in this research. The first one is： After 8 weeks of morning exercise intervention， there was a significant impact on the selective attention of sixth－grade elementary school students. Second： After 8 weeks of morning exercise intervention， there was no significant impact on the divided attention of sixth－grade elementary school students. And the last one is： After 8 weeks of morning exercise intervention， there was an improvement in "sustained attention" in sixth－grade elementary school students， but it was not statistically significant. Finally， the research concluded that： Eight weeks of morning exercise can effectively enhance the selective attention of sixth－grade elementary school students
