METHODS OF COMPREHENSIVE APPLICATION OF SPECIAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION EXERCISES FOR OVERWEIGHT CHILDREN
Abstract
Overweight children in schools require specialized physical exercise approaches to effectively manage weight and improve fitness. This article presents a study based on a dissertation that developed and tested a comprehensive exercise program for overweight schoolchildren. A 12-week intervention integrated into physical education classes (with 40 children aged 11–15) and a 10-week after-school exercise program (with 30 children aged 10–14) were implemented. The program combined functional (strength) and aerobic exercises with game-based interval training tailored to the children’s age and needs.
