Introduction: Sedentary lifestyles increasingly threaten the health of children and adolescents. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of school-based exercises on the physical fitness outcomes among sedentary high school boys.
Methodology: Eighty volunteers were randomly assigned to either an exercise group or a control group, with 40 participants in each. For three months, the exercise group engaged in three-weekly, 45-minute sessions (warm-up, exercises, cool-down). The control group maintained standard physical education classes.
Results: ANOVA demonstrated highly significant (p < 0.001) post-intervention differences between the exercise and control groups, with the exercise group exhibiting better performance in all physical fitness tests: sit-ups, standing long jump, 30m sprint, 4x10m shuttle run, and 5-minute run.
Conclusion: The three-month school-based exercise intervention led to substantial improvements in the exercise group's physical fitness, as evidenced by enhanced abdominal strength and endurance, leg power, speed, agility, and cardiovascular endurance.
