简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effect of yoga on physical fitness among healthy primary school children using a randomized control design. A total of 52 children, ages 8-13, will be randomly assigned to either the Yoga Group or the Control Group. Participants will be assessed using the EUROFIT Test Battery as the primary outcome measure.
The Yoga Group will do 45-minute yoga sessions twice a week for 10 weeks, while the Control Group will not receive any intervention. Outcome assessments will be repeated at the end of the 10-week intervention period.
详细描述
This investigation is a randomized controlled trial designed to assess the physical fitness levels among primary school-age children subjected to diverse yoga interventions, comparing them with the outcomes observed in a control group devoid of such interventions.The study encompasses a 10-week intervention phase, during which participants undergo evaluation at two specific time points: Initial assessment (M1), conducted one week preceding the commencement of the exercise program, and subsequent evaluation (M2), executed one week post the conclusion of the program.Anthropometric measurements will determine the height of the participants using a non-elastic measuring tape (SECA brand) attached to the wall. Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated with the Tanita MC-180MA III device.The physical fitness of children will be measured with the Eurofit test battery.

结局指标
主要结局
Anthropometric measurements
时间窗: 12 weeks
Anthropometric measurements involved determining participants' height using a non-elastic measuring tape (SECA brand), affixed to a wall. The Tanita MC-180MA III device facilitated weight analysis, and Body Mass Index (BMI) (kg/m2) was calculated by dividing body weight (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters).
EUROFIT Test Battery
时间窗: 12 weeks
The 10 tests for the Eurofit Test Battery are used as standards in the measurements of school-aged children. Anthropometry: Height, Weight, BMI, Skinfold thickness * Flamingo balance test * Arm movement speed * Sit and reach * Standing long jump * Hand grip strength * 30s Shuttle Bent arm hanging * 10 x 5 meter shuttle run * 20 m endurance (shuttle) run
Body Mass Index
时间窗: 12 weeks
Weight in kilograms and height in meters will been calculated and, weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m2.
