Effects of Rope Skipping in Cardiopulmonary Fitness in School Going Children
Riphah International University
178 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
