简要总结
The goal of this study is to determine the effect of resistance training on physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance in young adults. This would be a randomized controlled trail in which participants will be randomly allocated in to two groups. One group will perform resistance training and other group will perform balance and general body toning exercises.
详细描述
In recent years, the relationship between physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance has garnered significant attention in the fields of education, psychology, and sports science. Young adulthood represents a critical developmental period characterized by substantial physical, cognitive, and psychological changes. During this phase, individuals are often engaged in academic pursuits, which makes understanding the impact of various interventions on physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance especially relevant.
While individual studies have explored the effects of resistance training on physical fitness, cognitive ability, and academic performance separately, there remains a gap in the literature concerning a comprehensive understanding of their interconnectedness in the context of young adults. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the potential causal relationship between resistance training and these multifaceted outcomes.
This randomized controlled trial will recruit participants from young population. Study participants will be randomized into two groups: Group-A and Group-B. Group-A participants would receive resistance training for 3 consecutive months, while Group-B participants would follow general fitness and body toning exercises. Physical fitness, cognitive ability and academic performance will be measured at the baseline and after the termination of intervention program.

结局指标
主要结局
Isometric Strength (lbs)
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Isometric Strength will be assessed using a Hand-held Dynamometer measuring isometric contraction force in pounds (lbs).
Endurance
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Endurance will be assessed using the Yo Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 Test ranging from speed level 5 (lightest) to speed level 23 (hardest).
Stroop Test
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Stroop test will be used to assess cognitive function (number of items completed during each task).
Trail Making Test
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Trail Making Test will be used to assess cognitive function (time spent to complete the task).
Balance
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Balance will be assessed using Star Excursion Balance Test (distance in each direction).
Agility
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Agility will be assessed using Illinois Agility Run Test (Time to complete it in seconds).
Verbal Digit Span Test
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Verbal Digit Span Test will be used to assess cognitive function (number of digits recalled correctly).
Academic Performance
时间窗: Baseline and after end of the intervention (3 months)
Academic performance will be assessed using previous and subsequent school grades of the participants.
