Sedentary lifestyle and low cardiorespiratory fitness among male adolescents aged 15 to 17 years. The study focuses on reduced aerobic capacity associated with physical inactivity, prolonged sitting time, excessive screen exposure, and insufficient physical activity. These conditions are recognized risk factors for future cardiometabolic disorders, reduced exercise tolerance, and poor physical fitness. The intervention aims to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and prevent health consequences rel
