About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The aim is to compare the effects of moderate-intensity training and high-intensity interval training on gait, energy expenditure, and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegia. Methods: Thirty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy were allocated randomly into two groups (n=15 each). The group A and the group B. Assessment of functional mobility and energy expenditure and gait analysis for all children of both groups were assessed before and after the suggested period of treatment.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Group ATreatment being tested
Group A (received aerobic training with moderate intensity endurance training "MIET" by walking or running on a treadmill). Treatment was delivered for 20minutes, 3 times per week for two successive months.
Treatment: Moderate intensity training
- Group BTreatment being tested
Group B (received aerobic training exercises in the form of high-intensity interval training (HIT) by walking or running on a treadmill). Treatment was delivered for 20minutes, 3 times per week for two successive months.
Treatment: High intensity interval training
