Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of coordinative exercise on attention in adolescent females during menstruation. 40 adolescent females participated in the study. Their age ranged from 15 to 18 yrs. All participants had a good medical history and regular menstrual cycle. All participants received a coordinative exercise program for 35minutes 3 times per week for 4 subsequent weeks. Evaluation was done using the d2 test for attention. Six measurements were taken; at one day before menstruation before the application of the exercise program (pre I), at the second day of menstruation before the application of the exercise program (pre II), and at the fifth day of menstruation before the application of the exercise program (pre III), and at one day before menstruation after the application of the exercise program (post I), at the second day of menstruation after the application of the exercise program (post II), and at the fifth day after menstruation after the application of the exercise program (post III). These measurements were statistically analyzed and compared. Results revealed that there was a significant improvement in attention before, during and after menstruation after exercise compared to before exercise; showing a significant difference in all the d2 test scores (TN, E, E%, TN - E, CP , FR) between the six time intervals (p = 0.0001). So, it can be concluded that coordinative exercise improved attention before, during and after menstruation
