This study was developed to explore two objectives concerning the ability to follow directions in children ages 5;6 through 7;6: (1) if the enrollment in structured physical activities impacted the ability to follow directions, and (2) if there was a correlation between a determined impact and the years of experience, and/ or the variety of enrollment in structured physical activities. Structured physical activities involve constant rehearsal of motor sequences, which suggests an opportunity for advancement in the procedural memory system of athletes, enhancing their ability to follow more complex directions than their age-matched peers who are not enrolled in a program. Eighteen child participants, one boy and 17 girls, from two different facilities in Central New Jersey offering structured physical activity programs, and 18 parent/caregivers, one for each child participant, were recruited for participation in this study. The Following Directions subtest of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals 5th Edition (the CELF-5) was administered to each child participant to assess their ability to follow directions, and a parent/caregiver questionnaire was developed and completed by the 18 parents/caregivers to collect a brief case history. It was determined from the data collected that 14 out of the 18 child participants achieved scores that were above the normed data, and one child participant obtained a score that matched the normed data. A positive correlation was determined between the variety of enrollment and the ability to follow directions, and the period of enrollment and the ability to follow directions.
