Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Primary study parameters/outcome of the study: response inhibition, error processing, and interference (i.e., as measured with behavioral performance on the Go/no-go, Flanker, and Stroop), self-reported physical activity (i.e., as measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire), and self-reported delinquency (i.e., as measured with the WODC Self-Reported Delinquency Questionnaire).
Secondary outcome
Secondary study parameters/outcome of the study: socio-demograpics (e.g., age, weight, length and possible other confounding factors), intelligence as measured with a Screener for Intelligence and Learning Disabilities (SCIL 18+), impulsivity as measured with Dutch Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), senation seeking as measured with the Brief Sensation-Seeking Scale (BSSS), and cognitive distortions as measured with How I Think Questionnaire (HIT).
Background summary
A randomized control trial design with repeated measures will be used to examine the association between physical activity and cognitive control in young adults facing a plethora of problems, including frequent substance use, a history of delinquency, no daytime activities (e.g., no work or education), and behavioral and psychological problems. They will participate in either a light-active or moderate-active physical activity program for three months. It is hypothesized that physical activity will have a positive (dose-response) effect on cognitive control, measured as error processing, response inhibition and interference effect.
Study objective
It is hypothesized that physical activity will have a positive (dose-response) effect on cognitive control, measured as error processing, response inhibition and interference effect.
Study design
T0 (i.e., baseline)
T1 (i.e., 6 weeks after T0)
T2 (i.e., 3 months after T0)
Intervention
All participants at De Nieuwe Kans will participate in a mandatory sports program three times a week independent of participation in the study. Participation in the study (i.e., neuropsychological tests and questionnaires) is not mandatory. Cognitive control (reponse inhibition, error processing, and cognitive interference) will be assessed by behavioral performance on three neuropsychological tasks. In addition, multiple questionnaires will be used to assess other primary and secondary outcomes.
