Summary

This study tested two types of exercise—moderate steady training and high-intensity interval training—in 30 children with spastic diplegia (a form of cerebral palsy) aged 3 to 5. The goal was to see which better improves walking, energy use, and daily movement. Children were split into two groups and their progress was measured before and after the program.
