The effect of diverse sports skills interventions on physical fitness and brain development among Chinese high school students: a cluster randomized controlled trial study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During adolescence, research concerning physical fitness and brain development has become a focal point in health and neuroscience. Academic debates on the precise impact of different sports skills on adolescent physical fitness lack consensus. While exercise's positive effects on brain development in children and older adults are well-documented, its specific impact on adolescents remains unexplored. A year-long trial explores how diverse sports skills affect adolescents' physical fitness and brain development. The study has a dual focus: first, to examine the potential correlation between sports skills acquisition and indicators of adolescent physical fitness; and second, to investigate the mechanisms of brain plasticity in adolescents. This comprehensive study is pois
