Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The rubber band exercise and exercise intervention will be evaluated immediately after the intervention for immediate effects, and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the intervention begins. The evaluation items will be mobility, muscle strength and power, and coordination of each body part. Exercise performance will be evaluated in terms of performance specific to each athletic activity (e.g., swimming time, stroke frequency, and kick frequency in the case of swimming).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of motor performance will include measurement of vertical jump, standing long jump, ball throw, grip strength, upper body raising, and long body forward bending.
