This study aimed to investigate the effects on changes in type of attention and hurdle performance by developing and applying the attentional focus training program suitable for the standard of sixth grade students. The experimental group hurdled for 20 minutes after participating in the attentional focus training program for approximately 10 minutes thrice-weekly for 6 weeks. On the other hand, the control group hurdled for 20 minutes after watching images of excellent athletes' performances for approximately 10 minutes thrice-weekly for 6 weeks. After experimental treatment, the attention type and hurdle performance of the experimental group and the control group were measured. In order to measure the type of attention, this study revised the questions of TAIS and used a hurdling rating scale table dividing continuous motions of crossing hurdles into four-phased motions in order to measure the hurdle performance capability. This study used One-Way ANOVA and ANCOVA as statistical methods for data analysis. As a result of the data analysis, the following conclusions were drawn. First, it was not possible for the attention training to have a positive effect on the attention type changes of the elementary school students. As a result of ANCOVA on the measurement results of the experimental group and the control group, there were significant differences in BET, OET, and RED. However, as a result of One-Way ANOVA on the pre-and post-measurement results of the experimental group by post hoc tests, there was no significant difference. Second, the attention training was partially effective in the hurdle performance capability change of study object. As a result of ANCOVA to the measurement results of the experimental group and the control group, there were significant differences in all sub-factors. However, as a result of One-Way ANOVA on the pre-and post-measurement results of the experimental group by post hoc tests, there were significant differences in stride, take-off and total score excluding motion in the air and landing motion.
