Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• 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.
