简要总结
This study aims to explore and compare two distinct approaches to physical activity: functional training and dynamic play exercises, focusing on their effects on children's gross motor skills, physical fitness and balance.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted at Primary school of Lahore in a total duration of 10 months. Sample size will be 38. There will be two groups. Non-probability convenient sampling techniques will be used. The sample having the following characteristics will be included; Age 7-10 years, Both genders, Cognition MMSE score > 25, Class grades 2-5 , BMI between 5th - 85th percentiles, Able to stand and walk independently, PBBS score > 40, TGMD-2 > 13, TUDS > 10 secs. The population having the following characteristics will be excluded from the study; Pes Planus & Pes cavus, Scoliosis, Genu valgum, Genu varum, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Presence of Asthma, Acute orthopedic problem and any history of surgery past 6 months, visual, vestibular, or balance disorders. The tools that will be included in this study are: Pediatrics balance scale, Test for gross motor development (TGMD-2) and Time up and downstairs test (TUDS). SPSS version 27 will be used for data analyses.
详细描述
Children's motor development progresses through various milestones such as crawling, walking, and refining fine motor skills, influencing their overall growth and well-being. Piaget's theory underscores the role of motor skills in cognitive and social development, emphasizing that children construct understanding through actions. Motor development, a continuous process, involves gross motor skills (involving large muscles) and fine motor skills (involving small muscles), crucial for daily activities and physical play. Physical fitness in childhood is pivotal for long-term health, correlating with reduced body fat and improved cardio-metabolic health. Balance control, integral to motor skills, depends on sensory inputs and neuromuscular responses. Functional Training and dynamic play are approaches to physical activity that impact gross motor skills, fitness, and balance, with implications for enhancing physical capabilities during childhood. This study aims to explore and compare two distinct approaches to physical activity: functional training and dynamic play exercises, focusing on their effects on children's gross motor skills, physical fitness and balance.

研究组 & 干预措施
Functional Training
Group A will perform functional training. Each training session begins with a preparation phase, including warm-up (1-3 min), neuromuscular activation (1-3 min), dynamic stretching (1-3 min), and core muscle activation (1-3 min). The main training phase consists of two modules. The first module is devoted to motor skill development (10-15 mins), with an emphasis on walking, jumping, crawling, throwing, pushing, and catching. The second module focuses on physical fitness (7-10 mins), with an emphasis on balance, agility, and endurance. Each training session concludes with a phase of motor skill consolidation (1-3 min) and static stretching (1-3 min). This group will receive a total 12-week period with one training during 1-8 week and twice a week during 9- 12 weeks

Dynamic Play Exercise
Group B will perform dynamic play exercises which includes warm-up (for 3-5 mins), rhythmic exercise (5-10 mins), games (7-10 mins) and free play exercises (10-15 mins). This group will receive the lesson once a week during week 1-8 and twice a week during 9-12 weeks

结局指标
主要结局
Paediatric Balance Scale
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS), adapted from the Berg Balance Scale, assesses balance in children through 14 items scored 0-4, with a maximum of 56. It shows excellent test-retest (ICC=0.998) and interrater reliability (ICC=0.997).
Test for Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2)
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) assesses 12 fundamental movement skills-6 locomotor (e.g., running, hopping) and 6 object control (e.g., throwing, catching)-in children aged 3 to 10 years 11 months. It evaluates movement patterns essential for physical activity. The TGMD-2 shows good internal consistency (α = 0.73-0.87), strong inter-rater agreement (≥ 0.92), and high test-retest reliability (locomotor = 0.91, object control = 0.85).
