School Recreation to Enhance Cognitive Development of Elementary Students. Ciencia y Deporte [online]. 2022, vol.7, n.3, pp. 15-29. Epub 02-Sep-2022.

Introduction:
Physical recreation is a voluntary type of activity that is performed during free time as part of extracurricular activities, whose end is to produce physical and psychic relaxation, providing pleasure, and well-being, and contributing positively to human growth and balance against school-related stress and other daily duties.
Aim:
To design a program of physical exercises that contribute to cognitive development of fifth-graders during their mathematics lessons, at the 24 de Julio educational facility. It must engage students in practicing recreational activities at school often, and it is also a tool for motor, cognitive, affective, and social development of the 50 students selected for this study.
Results:
This is one of the essential tests to measure the cognitive and motor development of children. Designed to facilitate the evaluation and maintain the child's attention from a very early age.
Materials and methods:
During the research, several methods were included, such as the scientific, analytical, synthetic, and descriptive. The study relied on a pre-experimental design, which included only one group, consisting in the application of a pre-test and a post-test. The techniques used were survey and a cognitive development test.
Conclusions:
Regarding the equivalent fraction variables, semi-straight fractions, and combined operations, P 0.000 < 0.05 demonstrated that the null hypothesis was rejected, while the alternative hypothesis was accepted, thus suggesting a highly significant difference between the pre-test and post-test in the three variables related to student cognitive development during the research
