What is Ready-to-eat Cereal and Milk for Breakfast Compared with No Breakfast Has a Positive Acute Effect on Cognitive Function and Subjective State in 11–13-Year-olds: a School-based, Randomised, Controlled, Parallel Groups Trial about?

## Purpose We tested the acute effect of breakfast (ready-to-eat-cereal [RTEC] and milk) versus (vs.) no breakfast on cognitive function and subjective state in adolescents. ## Methods Healthy adolescents (__n__ = 234) aged 11–13 years were recruited to take part in this school-based, acute, randomised, controlled, parallel groups trial with two interventions; Breakfast or No Breakfast. The breakfast intervention consisted of ad libitum intake of RTEC (up to 70 g) with milk (up to 300 ml) administered in a naturalistic school breakfast programme environment. Cognitive function was assessed at baseline and + 70 and + 215 min post-intervention in a group-testing situation, similar to a school classroom context. The CANTAB test battery included: Simple Reaction Time (SRT), 5-Choice Reaction Time (5-CRT), Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP), and Paired Associates Learning (PAL; primary outcome). Data collection commenced January 2011 and ended May 2011. This trial was retrospectively registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03979027 on 07/06/2019. ## Results A significant effect of the intervention (CMH[1] = 7.29, __p__ < 0.01) was found for the number of levels achieved on th
