“…26 Moreover, positive results on resilience, self-efficacy, selective attention, and problem solving have also been reported after school-based karate interventions among children and adolescents. 8,9 These findings overall support the beneficial effects of including martial art-related activities-and particularly karateduring physical education lessons. It is worth noting, however, that the present results suggest that the proportion of children who actually obtain meaningful benefits from the intervention would be lower than previously expected, at least for SDQ scores (responsiveness rate of 17%).…”

“…In this regard, growing evidence suggests that participating in martial arts could be particularly beneficial. [5][6][7][8][9] For instance, Lakes and Hoyt reported positive effects of a 3-month school-based martial arts intervention on cognitive and affective self-regulation, prosocial behavior, classroom's conduct, and maths performance in children. 7 However, although preliminary evidence supports the beneficial effects of karate on psychosocial functioning and academic performance, 8,10,11 there is a lack of large randomized controlled trials (RCT).…”

Introduction: School-based sport interventions have shown beneficial effects on psychosocial functioning and academic performance in children. However, the inter-individual variability in response to these types of interventions remains unclear. We aimed to determine which children benefit most from a school-based sport intervention. Methods: This is an ancillary analysis of a randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of a 1-year school-based karate intervention (versus "traditional" physical education lessons) in children (7-8 years) from twenty schools across five European countries. Outcomes included psychosocial functioning (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [SDQ] for parents) and academic performance (grade point average). Only participants of the intervention group were included in the present ancillary analysis, and were categorized as responders or non-responders for the analyzed outcomes attending to whether improvements surpassed a minimal clinically important difference.Results: About 388 children (187 girls) from the intervention group completed the study, of which 17% and 46% were considered responders for SDQ and academic performance, respectively. Responders for the SDQ presented higher SDQ scores (i.e., higher psychosocial difficulties) at baseline than non-responders (p < 0.001). Responders for academic performance were mostly males (p = 0.017), with an older age (p = 0.030), and with worse academic performance (p < 0.001) at baseline compared with non-responders, and tended to present higher SDQ scores (p = 0.055). Responders for one outcome obtained greater benefits from the intervention on the other outcome (e.g., responders for SDQ improved academic performance [p < 0.001] compared with non-responders). Conclusions:A school-based sport intervention (karate) seems particularly effective for children with psychosocial difficulties and low academic performance.How to cite this article: Pinto-Escalona T, Valenzuela PL, Martin-Loeches M, Martinez-de-Quel O.

“…Study participants didn't have Kata practice in their usual karate training routine. Even though evidence shows that any resistance training and bimanual coordination in karate require attention, work memory, and discipline (Lima et al, 2017), skipping Kata means missing opportunity to improve. There are lack of studies and opinions on what could substitute Kata for children, to gain the same positive effects but in a more understandable and acceptable way for children from western societies.…”

“…Martial arts also improve resilience in children (Moore et al, 2021). One of the techniques that is aimed specifically to improve self-control and self-awareness is Kata, because it provides inhibitory control and demands mindfulness (Lima et al, 2017). Hence body awareness has a positive correlation with performance emotional state in athletes (Erden & Emirzeoglu, 2018).…”

Karate is a martial art that require a high level of motor and functional abilities, discipline and mental concentration as well. Practicing Kata improves self-awareness and focus, but is not always included in a class agenda. The author’s of sensomotor communication system based exercises have combined principles of movement from martial arts for body awareness. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 12 weeks intervention program of sensomotor communication system based exercises on static balance and self-esteem in karate pupils. In the study 24 karate pupils in the age of 7-12 were included. Training years in karate varied from 1 to 4 years of practice. To assess static balance the Flamingo balance test was used, to evaluate self-esteem, a modified Rosenger self-esteem scale was used. The findings of this study showed a positive effect on static balance and a minor positive effect on self-esteem in karate pupils after the intervention. Sensomotor communication system based exercises could be used for balance and self-esteem improvement. Also, being a more understandable and clearer exercise system, the sensomotor communication exercise program could be a Kata alternative for younger children practicing karate.

“…Preliminary evidence also suggests that sports participation might improve cognitive function and academic performance [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. For instance, Ishihara et al recently reported that sports participation was associated with greater academic performance during a two-year follow-up in adolescents aged 12–13 years, which was mediated by the gains in cardiorespiratory fitness [ 23 ].…”

Strong evidence supports physical activity and fitness levels being positively associated with cognitive performance and overall academic performance in youth. This also applies to sports participation. However, whether participation in sports at the elite level is associated with greater academic performance remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the academic performance of young elite athletes to that of control students, as well as to analyze whether the type of sport mediates these results. Between 2010 and 2019, all students from the last Baccalaureate course of the Spanish Elite Sport High School—which also includes non-elite athletes and recreational athlete students, who were categorized as controls—participated in this study. Academic performance was assessed through both the grade point average of the two last Baccalaureate courses and through the average grades from the University Entrance Examinations. Athletes were categorized attending to different sport classifications. A total of 1126 adolescents (570 girls, 18.2 ± 0.6 years) participated in the study, of which 483 and 643 were categorized as elite athletes and control students, respectively. Elite athletes attained a lower overall academic performance than controls (p < 0.001), which was confirmed for both sexes (p < 0.001). These differences were separately confirmed for most academic subjects (p < 0.05), as well as when attending to different sport classifications (all p > 0.05). Young elite athletes attained a lower academic performance than their non-elite peers, regardless of their type of sport. These findings highlight the importance of programs aimed at facilitating dual careers among young elite athletes.
