Study of Bulgarian Bag Exercises to Improve Lower Limb Function, Posture, and Balance in Children Ages 8 to 18

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effect of Bulgarian bag exercises on lower limb function, posture, and balance in school-age children. The study will involve 379 boys and girls aged 8 to 18 years, focusing on healthy children without diagnosed physical or neurological impairments that could affect motor skills or agility. The study uses tools like the Postural Awareness Scale PAS-E, Berg Balance Scale, and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale to assess outcomes. Participants will perform Bulgarian Bag exercises guided by a trained physical therapist or instructor. The exercises include squats, lunges, deadlifts, and shoulder presses using the Bulgarian Bag, which is weighted equipment designed to improve strength, balance, and coordination. Exercise intensity will gradually increase as participants adapt over the study period. During the study, children will be evaluated using the specified scales after 11 weeks of exercise. Researchers will monitor posture, balance, and lower limb function throughout the program. The study emphasizes regular physical activity benefits and aims to gather data on improvements in motor skills and physical fitness. Participation involves supervised exercise sessions and assessment visits within the trial timeline.
