Comparison Between Plyometrics and Calisthenics on Executive Function in School Going Children
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of calisthenics and plyometric exercises on executive functions in school-going children. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will calisthenics exercises have a better effect on executive functions compared to plyometric exercises in school-going children? * How do these exercise interventions impact selective attention, working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility 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 executive function 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 executive function * Participate in their assigned exercise program 3 times per week for 8 weeks (exercise groups only) * Complete follow-up assessments of executive function at 4 weeks and 8 weeks * Perform tests measuring selective attention, working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility
