Integrating interval jump rope exercise into a school setting improve body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and glycolipid metabolism parameters in adolescents with overweight and obesity: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Childhood obesity is closely linked to the development of cardiovascular risk factors and other impairments. Jump rope exercise (JRE) is a simple and efficient mode of exercise that can be easily implemented in schools, effectively enhancing the physical fitness of adolescents. However, studies examining the effectiveness of JRE to improve the health of adolescents with obesity are scarce. This study examined the effects of a 12-week interval JRE integrating into physical education (PE) class on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and glycolipid metabolism parameters in adolescents with overweight/obesity.

Methods

In this randomized control trial (RCT), adolescents aged 10-13 years with overweight/obesity (age = 12.4 ± 0.6 years, BMI = 24.7 ± 1.1 kg/m
