Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Physical activity is expected to mitigate the effects of math anxiety by improving cognitive and academic performance and heart rate variability that will be assessed by tests of executive control and math tests, quantified by numbers of correct answers, latency and fluency. We expect to find significant improvement effects with approximate size (d) of 0.3. | — |
