Abstract

Physical activity plays a key role in improving overall health and cognitive functions, especially executive functions, understood as inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. This study explores the link between visuospatial working memory and gross motor skills in primary children, finding a moderate positive correlation. These findings reinforce existing literature promoting the integration of movement-based approaches in educational settings.
