Summary

This study looked at whether adding simple bodyweight exercises (calisthenics) to gym class helps teenagers get stronger and feel better about themselves. About 100 students aged 13-16 took part, with some doing the special program and others sticking to regular PE. After 12 weeks, researchers measured muscle strength, body fat, eating habits, and self-concept to see if the calisthenics group improved more.
