The purpose was to examine the effect of Brain Gym on learning the overhand throw among 42 first grade students. Participants from two intact classes were randomly assigned to an experimental or control condition. Students were tested before and after a 5-week intervention using the object control subtest from the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (Ulrich & Sandford, 2000). Throwing performance was assessed four times throughout the study. Independent sample t-test resulted in no significant pre- or post-test group differences in TGMD-2 scores. While throwing performance improved over time for both conditions, brain gym intervention had no statistically significant effect on throwing performance. The impact of Brain Gym is discussed with attention on recommendations for future research. (Contains 2 tables.)
