Theoretical, empirical, statistical-mathematical methods and a battery of neuropsychological examination based on Luria's postulates, which allowed the diagnosis of thought disorders. Then the educational program based on physical activity was applied in the study group; and finally the results were compared in a before and after in the study group, and between this and the control group.
Results:
greater quantification of efficient intellectual processes, improvement in logical-verbal, practical-constructive and ruminative thinking was observed in the study group; while in the control group these changes were not reflected.
Conclusions:
