OBJECTIVES: This study assesses the effect of rhythmic exercises using Rhythmex(®) program on the cognitive function and behaviour of maltreated children living in a group residential facility. METHOD: School age children (ages 6-9) participated in the study, one group of 23 children exercised with Rhythmex rhythmic exercise program for eight weeks, 2-3 times a week, for 5min, while a second group of 14 children did not exercise. Both groups took the Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) test pre- and post-intervention and social workers evaluated their behaviour on the Achenbach's Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) pre-intervention and then 12 months later. RESULTS: Improvement of 12 months on average in the VMI scores from pre- to post-intervention among the exercise group participants was observed compared with the control group. Aggressive behaviour was significantly lower on the Achenbach's CBCL aggression subscale among the exercise group participants compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: Rhythmic exercises for 5min, 2-3 times a week for 8 weeks appear to be effective in improving VMI scores and lowering aggressive behaviour among maltreated children when compared to children of the same age who did not participate in the rhythmic exercises program. |
