Summary

This study will assess the effectiveness of a high-intensity intermittent games intervention (HIIG) on cardiorespiratory fitness and corporal composition. Fifty-four children, aged 9-12 years, will be randomised into an HIIG or moderate-intensity games (MIG) group. Before and after the intervention, participants complete cardiorespiratory fitness and corporal composition test. The hypothesis states that there is an improvement in the cardiorespiratory fitness and in the body composition implementing high-intensity intermittent games.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

High-intensity intermittent games

The intervention will last for 12-weeks, each group included participation in twice-week 40 minutes exercise sessions. In HIIG children took part in 5 games per session; 2 velocity games and 3 small-sided games (such 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4). This session included 4 minutes games and 2 minutes recovery. In MIG children took part in 5 games per session. This session included 4 minutes games and 3 minutes recovery.

BEHAVIORAL

Moderate intensity games

The intervention will last for 12-weeks, each group included participation in twice-week 40 minutes exercise sessions. In MIG children took part in 5 games per session. This session included 4 minutes games and 3 minutes recovery.
