About this trial
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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Borg rating scale
The original Borg scale ranges from 6 to 20, where 6 represents "no exertion at all" and 20 represents "maximal exertion.
Time frame
duration 8 weeks2
Talk test of Perceived Exertion
The Talk Test is a simple way to measure exercise intensity based on how easily a person can talk during activity
Time frame
duration 8 weeks3
20 Meter Shuttle Run Test.
The 20 meter shuttle run test also know as beep test is a field test that measures aerobic fitness and predicts the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max)
