Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study is a 12-week high-intensity interval training intervention, which is 6 to 10-minute in length and will be delivered 5 times per week among year 7 adolescents, at the start of physical education and physical activity lessons. We will examine the effectiveness of this intervention on outcomes, such as body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular health, bone health, cognitive function, mental wellbeing, and academic performance. In addition, The investigators will evaluate the fitness changes between school days (structured day) and a two-month summer holiday (unstructured days). This will be achieved by collecting data at three timepoints: pre- and post-intervention and after a 2-month (summer holiday) following the completion of the intervention.
The high-intensity interval training includes resistance-based exercises, such as jumping jacks, high knees, burpees, squat jumps, lunge jumps, and mountain climbers.
