Purpose: Childhood and adolescence are important stages of life, as many physical, biological, and psychological changes occur during these stages. Many contributing factors play an important role during these growing and developmental stages. During these stages, modifiable factors including nutrition and physical fitness are crucial. To improve physical fitness, interventions should focus on physical activity, and improving the dietary intake of nutrients. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of nutritional counseling and structured exercise regimens on the fitness of elementary school children.
Methods: The study included sixty school-age children, ranging between 6-14 years of age who scored poorly on three of the five tests related to physical fitness. The exclusion criteria consisted of children with a recent ligamentous or muscular injury in the previous four weeks. They were medically instructed not to engage in any of the physical activity. Children were randomly assigned to Group A-Structured exercise program (SEP), Group B-Nutritional Counselling Program (NCP), and Group C-SEP + NCP. Pre-and post-intervention the children were assessed for their fitness parameters like muscle strength, curl-up test, flexibility, agility, and cardiovascular endurance.
Results: It was observed that the fitness of children improved in all groups following four weeks of intervention p<0.05, however, the greatest improvements were observed following structured exercises and nutritional counseling (SEP+NCP).
Conclusion: There is a definite need to focus on healthy lifestyles in elementary school children which should include both structured exercise and nutritional counseling.
