Brief Summary

The study suggests that the high intensity exercise training program is beneficial for the female teenagers to enhance their cognitive abilities along with the physical strengthening. It also helps the teenagers to increase their mental health for better health and memory.

Conditions

Cognitive Flexibility Among Female Teenagers

Keywords

Cognitive Flexibility; High Intensity Interval Training; High Intensity Exercises; Digital Span Test; Mini Mental State Examination

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Digit Span (DGS)

  Cognitive Flexibilty was assessed by Digit Span (DGS), is a measure of verbal short-term and working memory that can be used in two formats, Forward Digit Span and Reverse Digit Span. This is a verbal task, with stimuli presented auditory, and responses spoken by the participant and scored accordingly

  Baseline to 8 weeks

• Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)

  The MMSE is a brief screening tool that provides a quantitative assessment of cognitive impairment and records cognitive changes over time (23). The maximum score for the MMSE is 30. A score of 25 or higher is classed as normal. If the score is below 24, the result is usually considered to be abnormal, indicating possible cognitive impairment.

  Baseline to 8 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Experimental (High Intensity Interval Training)

EXPERIMENTAL

High Intensity Interval Training for 8 weeks, which include lunges, squatting sprinting and other exercises.

Other: High Intensity Interval Training

Control (No Intervention)

NO INTERVENTION

Control Group received no intervention they all will be engaged in normal daily routines.

Interventions

High Intensity Interval Training OTHER

The HIIT sessions ranging from 4-12 minutes in duration for 8 weeks in which three sessions will be conducted each week (weeks 1-3: 4 minutes; weeks 4-6: 8 minutes; weeks 7-8: 12 minutes respectively), with a work to rest ratio of 30sec: 10sec, as mention in table 1. Experimental group/HIT group engaged in their HIIT sessions (inclusive of a short warm-up activity including dynamic exercises i.e., walking/running, 8-10 minutes of HIIT and cool down which include static exercises i.e., shoulder and hip muscle stretches). Session duration and intensity are increased with weekly progression in intervention groups. The high resistance training sessions was be delivered by the researcher to HIT group
