Abstract: (66 Views)
Background and Objective: Childhood obesity remains a major public health concern, as this epidemic contributes not only to numerous chronic diseases but also profoundly impacts various other aspects of a child's life. Consequently, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of rebounder Exercises on the agility and body composition of obese students aged 10–12 years in Karaj.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design employing a pretest-posttest with a control group was utilized for this research. Thirty participants were purposefully selected and randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group performed rebounder exercise training for a total of twenty-four sessions, while the control group received no intervention. All subjects were assessed for agility using a standardized test and had their body composition measured before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS software, with the significance level set at p<0.05.
Findings: The results indicated a significant difference in both agility and body composition between the experimental and control groups. Within the experimental group, agility and body composition significantly improved from pretest to posttest following the rebounder training intervention.
Conclusion: This research demonstrated that rebounder exercises are an effective and efficient strategy for combating obesity and improving physical fitness in students. These findings strongly recommend the application of rebounder exercises as a safe, engaging, and effective sports intervention in school health and physical education programs to enhance motor health and weight management in the population of obese children.
