Effects of 12-week integrative neuromuscular training on muscular fitness and sex differences in response to intervention in five- to six-year-old preschoolers
These findings suggested that a 12-week INT program can more effectively enhance the muscular fitness of 5-6-year-old preschoolers compared to regular physical education classes, serving as an effective and efficient supplement to physical education for this age group. Furthermore, there is no evidence of sex -specific differences in the development of muscular fitness among 5-6-year-old preschoolers under the INT program.
