NCT ID NCT07709949
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether a daily physical education program (five times per week) improves motor skills and health-related fitness in preschool children compared to the standard twice-weekly curriculum. Over six months, children in the experimental group participate in a varied program including ball sports, gymnastics, and dance, led by specialists and teachers. Researchers measure gross motor skills, coordination, and fitness using standardized tests. The goal is to determine if increasing daily structured activity during early childhood leads to meaningful developmental benefits.
