Physical and Psychosocial Outcomes of 16-Week Classroom-Based Morning Exercise Program
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
The overall goal of the project is to enhance the physical and emotional well-being of primary school-aged children by incorporating short exercises-practicable within the classroom setting right at their desks-into their daily routines, thereby supporting their body awareness, flexibility, postural control, focus, and stress-coping skills. Furthermore, the project aims to instill a habit of morning exercise among school-aged children and to determine the impact of this habit on flexibility, body image, pain, general well-being, and school burnout.

Classroom-Based Morning Exercise Program
Exercises generally consist of movements that can be done sitting at a desk or standing next to a desk, and do not require equipment. It includes exercises for warming up, stretching, strengthening, balance and relaxation, lasting 10-15 minutes and suitable for daily use. It starts with a deep breathing exercise, continues with basic strength and flexibility exercises that mobilize the body, and ends with a deep breathing exercise again. Exercises that can be performed both sitting and standing are presented together. During the transitions between movements, small exercises such as "waving the hands" are also included as a break.
