Brief Summary

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

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of animation-based breathing therapy on the physical (cough strength, chest expansion, and walking speed) and psychological health (perceived stress level, well-being, and attention) of school-age children.

Detailed Description

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

One hundred thirty school-age children, aged between 8 and 12, will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: an animation-based breathing therapy group or a control group. The intervention group will receive animation-based breathing therapy for six weeks (two sessions per day, five days per week). Assessments will be conducted at baseline and at the end of the six-week period. Cough strength will be measured using a peak expiratory flow meter. Chest expansion will be assessed with a measuring tape at the axillary, epigastric, and subcostal levels. Walking speed will be evaluated using the 10-Meter Walk Test. Perceived stress will be assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale for Children, well-being will be measured using the WHO-5 Child Wellbeing Index, and attention will be assessed using the Bourdon Attention Test.
