The benefits of an active lifestyle and physical fitness extend to physical, mental, and social aspects of well-being, including improved cardiopulmonary health, concentration, and self-confidence. The World Health Organization recommends 60 minutes of daily activity to combat childhood obesity, which is influenced by factors like lack of exercise, poor diet, and sedentary behaviors. Obesity negatively impacts children's kinesthetic perception, motor skills, and emotional resilience, crucial for their nervous system development. This study aims to explore the relationship between these factors in obese school-age children.
The data will be collected by both subjective and objective assessments. The data collection will be organized at the premises of the participating schools during the time allocated for physical education and breaks. Consent will be taken from each participant before any assessment. The data will be collected included anthroprometric and demographics included sex, age, class/grade level, height, weight, BMI (calculated as the weight divided by the square of height). Measurement tools such as, PMSC will be used to assess motor competence and physical fitness in young children. It is a performance based tool, PMSC will assess children's fundamental locomotion skills such as catching, running, kicking, jumping forward, skipping and hitting ball with one hand. Each question will be scored as 'good' or 'not as good'. Kinesthetic perception will be assessed by Nelson hand reaction time. It is a performance based activity. It will test the subject's kinesthetic perception visually, auditory senses and tactile senses. Emotional Intelligence will be assessed using PANAS tool.
Riphah International University is the lead sponsor of 2,133 studies on the registry; 633 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Obese children are recruited, male and female. The age limit is from 10 years to 15 years
Exclusion Criteria:
Kinesthetic Perception
Kinesthetic perception will be assessed by Nelson hand reaction. The term Reaction time is the interval of time between the presentation of the stimulus and the initiation of response. Motor competence will be assessed using the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (PMSC) for young children. Emotional intelligence will be assessed by using PANAS tool. Affect indicates people's positive and negative emotions and is composed of Positive Affect (PA) or pleasant emotions and Negative Affect (NA) or unpleasant emotions.
