ExperimentalArm 1: Physical Activity Training (Intervention Group) Arm 1: Physical Activity Training (Intervention Group)
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Intervention Description:
Participants in the intervention group will complete an 8-week structured physical activity program. The program consists of three sessions per week, each lasting 60 minutes:
30 minutes cardiovascular exercise (walking, jogging, or interval training at moderate intensity)
20 minutes strength training (b...Show More | Physical Activity Training Arm 1: Physical Activity Training (Intervention Group) Intervention Type: Behavioral

Intervention Type: No Intervention
Intervention Description:
Participants in the control group will continue their usual daily routine without participating in the structured physical activity program. They will be asked to avoid initiating any new exercise programs during the 8-week study period. Pre- and post-study assessments will be conducted using the same physical fitne...Show More | N/A |
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Title: 30-Meter Sprint Time | Description: The time required to complete a 30-meter maximal sprint. The best (fastest) of two trials is recorded.
Unit of Measure: Seconds | Baseline and 8 weeks |
Title: Upper Body Muscular Endurance | Description: The total number of correct push-ups completed within a 30-second period.
Unit of Measure: Number of repetitions | Baseline and 8 weeks |
Lower Body Explosive Power | Description: The distance jumped forward from a standing position, measured from the starting line to the point of contact at landing.
Unit of Measure: Centimeters | Baseline and 8 weeks |
Body Fat Percentage | Description: The percentage of total body fat as measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) using the TANITA TBF-300 device.
Unit of Measure: Percentage (%) | Baseline and 8 weeks |
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) | Description: Calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2).Unit of Measure: kg/m2 (Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m².) | Baseline and 8 weeks |
Change in Physical Activity Level | Description: Measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). This questionnaire assesses the time spent being physically active in the last 7 days.
Unit of Measure: MET-minutes per week Full Scale Name: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Minimum Value: 0 (Theoretically) Maximum Value: No upper limit (varies according to the individual's reported activity duration).
Interpretation: Higher scores indicate a better outcome. A higher MET-minute/week value suggests that the individual has a more active and physically healthier lifestyle. | Baseline and 8 weeks |
Change in Quality of Life Score | Description: Measured using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
Unit of Measure: Score on a scale Full Scale Name: Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) Minimum Value: 0 Maximum Value: 100 Interpretation: Higher scores indicate a better outcome. A score of 100 represents complete health and high quality of life, while a score of 0 represents significant health limitations and low quality of life. | Baseline and 8 weeks |
