Summary

The goal of this randomized trial is to find out if an 8-week korfball-based training program can improve lower-body strength and jumping ability in children aged 10-12 years. Korfball is a mixed-gender sport that promotes teamwork and equal participation.

The study will test two main questions:

Does korfball training increase explosive leg power measured by the Margaria-Kalamen Stair Climb Test? Does korfball training improve performance in the Standing Long Jump Test?

Children are randomly assigned to one of two groups:

Korfball Training Group: Participants take part in supervised korfball-based exercise sessions 3 times per week for 8 weeks, in addition to their normal school activities.

Control Group: Participants continue with standard school physical education classes only.

All participants complete both the Margaria-Kalamen Stair Climb Test and the Standing Long Jump Test before and after the 8-week period.

This study will show whether korfball training is an effective and inclusive way to improve explosive leg power and motor skills in school-aged children.
