Popis:	This study addresses the issue of whether (1) adding cognitive demands to the physical exercise tasks in physical education may promote the development of children's executive attention and (2) this ‘enrichment’ also matches the ability/skill level of children affected by Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD). Results show a different efficacy of the two PE programs for promoting attention in typically developing and borderline/DCD children and highlight the need to find and continuously reset the degree of task complexity in PE to match the optimal challenge point of normal and special children populations.
