| Περιγραφή: | Background: With the rising trend of sedentary behaviour and decreased physical activity among school-aged children, there is a growing concern regarding their physical health and fitness. Calisthenic exercises, bodyweight-based movements, offer a cost-effective and accessible method to improve multiple components of physical fitness without the need for equipment. Objective: To evaluate the effects of structured Calisthenic exercise program on physical fitness among school-going children. Material and Methods: This two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted over 10 months at a private school in Sargodha, Pakistan. Forty-eight male children were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (intervention group) performed structured Calisthenic exercises thrice weekly for 8 weeks, while Group B (control group) continued routine school activities. Physical fitness was assessed using the Eurofit Physical Fitness Test Battery at baseline, week 4, and week 8. Repeated measures ANOVA and independent t-tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: Significant within- and between-group improvements were observed in the intervention group across multiple fitness parameters including balance (Flamingo Balance Test, p |
