SUMMARY

This study aims to explore and compare two distinct approaches to physical activity: functional training and dynamic play exercises, focusing on their effects on children's gross motor skills, physical fitness and balance. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted at Primary school of Lahore in a total duration of 10 months. Sample size will be 38. There will be two groups. Non-probability convenient sampling techniques will be used. The sample having the following characteristics will be included; Age 7-10 years, Both genders, Cognition MMSE score \> 25, Class grades 2-5 , BMI between 5th - 85th percentiles, Able to stand and walk independently, PBBS score \> 40, TGMD-2 \> 13, TUDS \> 10 secs. The population having the following characteristics will be excluded from the study; Pes Planus \& Pes cavus, Scoliosis, Genu valgum, Genu varum, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Presence of Asthma, Acute orthopedic problem and any history of surgery past 6 months, visual, vestibular, or balance disorders. The tools that will be included in this study are: Pediatrics balance scale, Test for gross motor development (TGMD-2) and Time up and downstairs test (TUDS). SPSS version 27 will be used for data analyses.

Treatments

Experimental: Functional Training

Group A will perform functional training. Each training session begins with a preparation phase, including warm-up (1-3 min), neuromuscular activation (1-3 min), dynamic stretching (1-3 min), and core muscle activation (1-3 min). The main training phase consists of two modules. The first module is devoted to motor skill development (10-15 mins), with an emphasis on walking, jumping, crawling, throwing, pushing, and catching. The second module focuses on physical fitness (7-10 mins), with an emphasis on balance, agility, and endurance. Each training session concludes with a phase of motor skill consolidation (1-3 min) and static stretching (1-3 min). This group will receive a total 12-week period with one training during 1-8 week and twice a week during 9- 12 weeks

Active_comparator: Dynamic Play Exercise

Group B will perform dynamic play exercises which includes warm-up (for 3-5 mins), rhythmic exercise (5-10 mins), games (7-10 mins) and free play exercises (10-15 mins). This group will receive the lesson once a week during week 1-8 and twice a week during 9-12 weeks
