Summary

Based on the provided document, here is a brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of calisthenics and plyometric exercises on reducing risk of MSK injuries among school-going children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Will calisthenics exercises have a better effect on reducing risk of MSK injuries compared to plyometric exercises in school-going children?
* How do these exercise interventions impact functional movements, and musculoskeletal pain improvements in children?

Researchers will compare a calisthenics exercise group, a plyometric exercise group, and a control group (no intervention) to see if there are differences in reducing risk of MSK injuries outcomes.

Participants will:

* Be male school-going children aged 8-12 years.
* Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: calisthenics, plyometric, or control.
* Complete baseline assessments of MSK (Functional Movement Screening and pain).
* Participate in their assigned exercise program 3 times per week for 8 weeks (exercise groups only).
* Complete follow-up assessments of MSK (Functional Movement Screening and pain) at 4 weeks and 8 weeks.
* Perform tests for functional movement screening and MSK assessment.
