Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Habitual physical activity was found to be positively related to better health and well-being. One of the most popular physical activity forms is ball games. In Israel, there is a growing popularity in a new ball game - Newcomball - which is being played by many middle age, non-athlete, women. However, so far, no study had evaluated the contribution of the game to improvement in the participants' physical fitness. The aim of this study, therefore, is to evaluate the effects of six month two weekly Newcomball training sessions to the physical fitness of middle age women.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physical fitness will be evaluated by six different physical tests: 1. agility T test, 2. "shuttle run" test for aerobic capacity, 3. vertical jump, 4. power ball throw, 5. "sit and reach" flexibility test , 6. 20 m all-out run speed test.
