Abstract
Background: Short-term memory disorders can have an impact on a child's
future. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of
Dual Task Training and Aerobic Exercise on improving short-term memory in
12-year-old children. Method: This research used a quasi-experimental
research design with a pre-test and post-test two group design. Carried out
for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times a week. The research subjects
consisted of 28 people, 14 people in the Intervention I group, a combination
of Dual Task Training and Aerobic Exercise, and 14 people in the Intervention
II Aerobic Exercise group. And measurements were carried out using the Digit
Span Test and Harvard Test. Results: Test showed a p < 0.001 in the
Combination Intervention of Dual Task Training and Aerobic Exercise, and a
p < 0.001 in the Intervention II Aerobic Exercise group. The test of difference
of 2 mean is p = 0.01, which means there is a significant difference between
the two interventions with the average difference between intervention group
I being 2.79 and intervention II being 1.71. Conclusion: This research can be
concluded that the combination of Dual Task Training and Aerobic Exercise
intervention is more influential in improving the short-term memory of
children aged 12 years.
