Effect of Tabata vs Burn 2 Learn Program on Body Weight, Physical Performance and Mental Well Being in School Athletes.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Digital Scale for body weight and Body mass index for Sports Physical Therapy. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Physical activity is crucial for school-aged children. The comparison between Tabata training and the Burn 2 Learn (B2L) program on body weight, physical performance, and mental well-being in school athletes is an interesting research area. Both exercise protocols aim to improve physical fitness, but they differ in structure and focus, which could lead to varied impacts on school athletes. The study design will be randomized clinical trial. This study will be conducted in divisional public schools. Tabata training and Burn 2 Learn program would be administered to school going to school athletes. Subjects meeting the predetermined inclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using lottery method. Sample size was 50 calculated by using Epitool which will be divided into 2 groups 25 in group A will be treated with Burn 2 Learn (B2L) program for 6 weeks, and 25 in group B will be treated with Tabata training for 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Assessment will be done using Digital Scale for body weight, waist to hip ratio, BMI,Beep Test, Standing Long Jump Test and 90-Degree Push-Up Test for Physical performance, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) for mental well-being at baseline after 6 weeks post treatment. Recorded values will be analyzed for any change using SPSS version 25

Timeline
Interventions
A digital scale is a simple and widely used tool for measuring body weight, providing quick and precise readings suitable for most age groups. When placed on a flat surface and used barefoot at a consistent time of day, it offers reliable and valid measurements. High-quality digital scales show good reliability (0.78) and validity (0.67) when properly maintained.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used metric to assess whether an individual has a healthy body weight in relation to their height. It's calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. BMI is commonly used to categorize individuals into different weight status groups (e.g., underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity). BMI provides a quick, simple screening method to identify potential weight-related health risks. Reliability coefficients or Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) range between 0.83 and validity or Correlation Coefficients r=0.79 showing high positive correlation.
