Brief Summary

Engaging in physical activity holds significant benefits for adolescents and contribute to their overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, the younger generation often does not prioritize this aspect of their lifestyle. Schools offer and ideal platform to actively involve and encourage our youth in regular physical activities. A total of 102 students will be selected from Beaconhouse International School Lahore, who will be passed through screening to fulfill the demands of the inclusion criteria. After selecting students will be randomly assigned into two groups, Group A the 'Burn 2 Learn' group (n=51) and Group B routine physical activity group (n=51). Students in the 'Burn 2 Learn' group will participate in three sessions per week of maximum 20 minutes for 10 weeks. In contrast, students in the routine physical activity group will continue with their routine physical activity implemented within the school. Evaluations of cardiorespiratory fitness using the 20m shuttle run test, wellbeing using the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale and muscular fitness using the 90-degree pushup test and standing long jump test, will be taken at baseline and after 10 weeks

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• 20-meter Shuttle Run Test

  The 20- meter shuttle run test, also known as the "Yo-Yo test" or the "Beep test", is a commonly used test for aerobic fitness. It evaluates an individual's aerobic capacity and cardiovascular endurance. The test involves running between two lines that are 20 meters apart in response to audio cues. The speed of the running increases gradually as the speed of the audio beeps increase. The participant must reach the finish line before the beep sounds. The time between beeps gradually decreases and hence the participant increases speed accordingly. If the participant fails to reach the line before the beep, the participant is given a warning. On a second warning, the test is concluded, and the numbers of laps are recorded.

  10 weeks

• Standing Long Jump Test:

  The standing long jump test also known as the broad jump test is a commonly used test for lower limb power and strength. It is commonly used in physical education or sports training to check for lower body fitness as it is feasible to perform and does not require much equipment. The test starts with the participant standing at the designated starting line with feet shoulder width apart. The participant then jumps as far as he can from the starting line without any initial run up or step. The distance between the starting lie and the back of the heels where the participant landed is then recorded. After a short interval of rest, the participant is asked to jump again. The best of the two jumps is then recorded.

  10 weeks

• 90 Degree Push Up Test:

  This test is used to evaluate upper body power and strength, particularly in the chest, shoulders and triceps. The participant assumes a prone position placing hands beneath or slightly wider than the shoulders. The student then lowers the body using the arms until the elbow reaches a 90-degree angle. It is crucial to keep the back in a straight line from head to toe throughout the test. This sequence is repeated as many times as possible in the same form and position. The recommended rhythm is 20 pushups per minute. The test is concluded with a second form correction and the number of pushups is recorded.

  10 weeks

• Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale:

  The Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) is a self-reporting questionnaire consisting of 14 questions designed to assess and individual's mental wellbeing. Data for this questionnaire is gathered through a paper survey filled by the students. Each question is a 5-point scale ranging for "none of the time" to "all the time". The data is filled based on previous two weeks. The items on the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale cover areas such as optimism, vitality, relaxation, self-esteem, relationships and overall life satisfaction. The scores from the scale provide a quantitative measure of an individual's mental wellbeing.

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

51 participants will be in experimental group giving them ''Burn 2 Learn'' program consisted of high intensity interval training activities such as lunges, jumping jacks, boxing, dancing and sports activities for ten weeks, measuring all values before giving them protocol and after protocol.

Other: Burn 2 Learn

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

51 participants will be in control group participating in their routine school physical activities, sports games or any exercise routines for ten weeks, measuring all values before giving them protocol and after protocol.

Other: Control Group

Interventions

Burn 2 Learn OTHER

The 'Burn 2 Learn' group encompassed the following components and implementations. A brief introductory seminar will be conducted with the principle, school event coordinator, school sports teacher and students from grade 8 to 10. The aim of this seminar is to provide a better understanding of the rationale and presenting evidence of the beneficial effects of high intensity interval training on overall wellbeing of students. The sessions will be conducted thrice a week for 10 to 15 minutes by the research team members for a period of 10 weeks. The sessions will consist of high intensity interval training activities such as lunges, jumping jacks, boxing, dancing and sports activities. The intervals ranging between 8-16, 30 second work out followed by 30 seconds rest, maintaining a 1:1 work rest ratio. 51 participants will be in the experimental group A giving them Burn 2 Learn exercise protocol along with the normal sports training plan for ten weeks.

Group A

Control Group OTHER

51 participants will be in control group B and will perform their routine school physical activities, sports games or any exercise routines.

Group B
