Comparison of Aerobic Training and Circuit Training on Body Mass Index, Physical Fitness, and Quality of Life in Healthy Children

Обзор

Childhood obesity is a growing concern, with potential consequences for long-term health. The number of obese children has increased more than tenfold in the last forty years. Over the course of their lifetimes, more and more young people worldwide will be exposed to obesity, which will hasten the onset of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and cardiovascular problems. Promoting physical activity in children is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight and improving overall well-being. Less than 30% of kids and teenagers worldwide fulfill the recommended daily minimum of 60 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity. Since that most children and adolescents spend a significant amount of time traveling to and from school or attending school, schools may be the best places for interventions. This project will investigate the effectiveness of two common exercise approaches, aerobic training and circuit training, on body mass index (BMI), physical fitness, and quality of life in healthy children. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted, recruiting healthy children within a specific age range 8-12. This study will be conducted in the Leader's Lyceum School.Two experimental groups will be made. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an aerobic training group or a circuit training group. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used. The study will include the children from age 8 to 12, both genders, healthy children. Both programs will be implemented for a set duration of 12 weeks, with specific parameters regarding intensity, duration, and exercise types. The project will assess changes in BMI, physical fitness components (e.g., cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility), and quality of life through validated measures, including Pediatric Quality of Life Generic Score 4.0 (PedsQL), Physical Fitness Test, Presidential Fitness test and BMI.
