    "title": "Exergame Training of Executive Function in Preschool Children: Generalizabilityand Long-term Effects",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Studies with older children and adults have found that physically engaging video games (i.e., Exergames) that promoteboth cognitive control and physical activity improve executive function (EF) skills; yet, children below school age remainunderstudied with regard to the impact of Exergames on EF. Additionally, research on the extent of the impact of Ex-ergames resulting in prolonged changes, and whether training generalizes to EF-related behaviors in a real-world contextremains scarce. This study examined the short- and long-term changes in EF of 4- to 5-year-olds after participation in two20-minute Exergame sessions. Results indicate that Exergame training improved performance on EF tasks and resultedin higher teacher ratings of EF in the classroom compared to a sex-/classroom-/age-matched control group. The improve-ments in EF persisted over a one-month period. This study provides novel insights into the short-term and long-termeffects of Exergame training on executive function in preschool-aged children.",
