Abstract

Sebbene il pensiero creativo sia descritto come un fattore importante per lo sviluppo intellettuale dello studente ed è classificato come una delle competenze più importanti del ventunesimo secolo per raggiungere il successo e notevoli progressi nella vita scolastica, professionale, personale e sociale, una quantità limitata di pubblicazioni ha indagato come l'attività fisica all'aperto con compiti cognitivamente coinvolgenti possa influenzare la creatività. Pertanto, scopo del presente studio è esplorare la relazione tra attività fisica all'aperto e creatività tra gli studenti. 120 studenti (13-14 anni) hanno partecipato a 12 settimane di un programma di attività fisica all'aperto (60'/ 2 giorni a settimana) o a un programma di attività fisica regolare e di facile esecuzione (60'/ 2 giorni a settimana). I risultati del presente studio supportano l'idea che l’attività fisica all'aperto con compiti cognitivamente coinvolgenti può promuovere lo sviluppo del pensiero creativo degli studenti.
