Brief Summary

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

The study will be conducted in a school setting, involving a randomized control trial (RCT) of 178 children aged 6 to 12. The participants will be divided into two groups: a control group engaging in regular physical education (PE) classes and an experimental group practicing rope skipping for 50 minutes, three times a week, over a period of 8 weeks. Cardiopulmonary fitness will be assessed before and after the intervention using the borg rating scale and talk test of perceived exertion.. Data will be analyzed to determine changes in endurance, heart rate recovery, and lung function between the groups. The expected outcome is a significant improvement in cardiopulmonary parameters among the rope-skipping group, highlighting the exercise's effectiveness in promoting heart and lung health in children.

Detailed Description

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

Physical inactivity among school-going children is a growing concern globally, leading to increased risks of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and poor overall health. Cardiopulmonary fitness, an important indicator of a healthy heart and lungs, can significantly reduce these risks. Rope skipping, a simple yet effective exercise, is gaining attention as a potential intervention to enhance cardiopulmonary fitness in children. Its low cost, accessibility, and high intensity make it a feasible activity in school environments. This project investigates the impact of regular rope skipping on the cardiopulmonary fitness of school-going children, aiming to assess improvements in heart rate, endurance, and respiratory capacity. By evaluating these parameters, the study seeks to contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting physical activity as a crucial part of children's health routines.
