简要总结
This study investigates the effect of an afterschool game-based physical activity program (AGPAP) on children's PF. This study was randomized controlled trial involving 120 children from a state school in Eskisehir/Turkey. The CONSORT checklist was used in this study. The sample of 9-10 years children (n = 120) was divided into groups by randomization. The intervention consisted of AGPAP. For PF, handgrip strength, curl-ups, sit-and-reach, standing long jump, and 10-meter running speed tests were applied.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental Group
EG additionally participated in AGPAP (4:00 pm-5:00 pm) twice a week, every Wednesday and Friday, for a total of 60 minutes, for 12 weeks. AGPAP started the week after the pre-tests for EG. The intervention program consisted of 24 traditional street games, including running, hopping, galloping, leaping, jumping, sliding, striking, catching, ball catching, overhand throwing, balance, one-hand throwing, flexibility, coordination, shooting at the target, and hand-arm-leg strength and both outdoor and indoor facilities were utilized based on whether conditions. Each practice phase is 60 minutes long and includes three stages: instruction and warm-up (10 min.), AGPAP practice (45 min.), and cooling-down (5 min.). Two researchers who hold graduate degrees in physical education and sport led AGPAP and recorded children's participation. At the end of the intervention, the same testing procedures and testing materials were used for post-test measurements.

结局指标
主要结局
Body Mass Index
时间窗: 12 weeks
Body weights were measured using a digital scale (SECA, Hamburg) with an accuracy of 0.1 kg while subjects were wearing as light clothing as possible and barefoot. Heights were measured using a portable stadiometer (SECA, Hamburg) with an accuracy of 0.1 cm while subjects were barefoot, with their feet together and their heads on a horizontal plane 47. The weight(kg)/height2(m) formula was used to calculate BMI.
