The long-term physical activity in specific sport activities can change the quality of mental rotation performance. This study investigates the influence of Life Kinetika motion program with tasks of cognition and motor coordinationon mental rotation performance of 44 primary school-aged children. While the experimental group received Life Kinetik lessons twice a week for 5 weeks, the control group took part in regular physical education classes for the same period of time. Both groups performed a mental rotation task before and after the intervention. The experimental group showed a significant increase in mental rotation ability than the control group.
