Persons with the following conditions were excluded: (1) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and those unable to engage in regular physical activity; (2) severe cardiovascular disease or history of severe trauma. All of the participants and their parents or guardians provided written informed consent prior to the beginning of this study.A total of 30 participants (20 males and 10 females) were included in this study.

The participants were assigned to either the experimental group (numbers 1–15) or the control group (numbers 16–30), with 15 people in each group.
