Comparison Between Calisthenics and Plyometrics on School Going Children
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Based on the provided document, here is a brief summary The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of calisthenics and plyometric exercises on reducing risk of MSK injuries among school-going children. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will calisthenics exercises have a better effect on reducing risk of MSK injuries compared to plyometric exercises in school-going children? * How do these exercise interventions impact functional movements, and musculoskeletal pain improvements in children? Researchers will compare a calisthenics exercise group, a plyometric exercise group, and a control group (no intervention) to see if there are differences in reducing risk of MSK injuries outcomes. Participants will: * Be male school-going children aged 8-12 years. * Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: calisthenics, plyometric, or control. * Complete baseline assessments of MSK (Functional Movement Screening and pain). * Participate in their assigned exercise program 3 times per week for 8 weeks (exercise groups only). * Complete follow-up assessments of MSK (Functional Movement Screening and pain) at 4 weeks and 8 weeks. * Perform tests for functional movement screening and MSK assessment.
