Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The Burn 2 Learn intervention will consist of the following components and execution methodologies. An authorized professional learning program for teachers will be held for one day (3 to 4 hours). This session seeks to provide intervention group teachers with a thorough grasp of the intervention's rationale, including current data supporting the benefits of vigorous physical activity for cognitive and mental health. The study team will offer a brief 20-minute introduction presentation to principals and instructors. These courses will focus on the most recent research into the relationship between physical exercise, fitness, and academic accomplishment. Video clips with expert testimony on the relationship between physical exercise and cognition will be included in the seminars. Trained instructors will hold lessons at schools at lunchtime, recess, or free periods, utilizing a flexible delivery mode specified by each school. Schools are recommended to plan three sessions each week for 12 weeks. Students will engage in High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for 15-20 minutes every session, including warm-up and cool-down. The HIIT program combines cardiovascular activities like shuttle sprints, jumping jacks, boxing, and dancing with muscle-building workouts like push-ups, squat jumps, and walking lunges. The intervals, which range from 8 to 16, follow a 30 second work, 30 second rest pattern, resulting in a 1:1 work-to-rest ratio. To increase motivation, HIIT classes will include a range of exercises and options throughout each session. Students will be able to pick between pre-planned High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) routines that include boxing, dancing, jogging, resistance training, and sport-specific HIIT (e.g., soccer, touch football, and basketball).
