Effects of Implementing Spinning as a Complementary Discipline on Psychomotor Development in 11th-Grade Students

This study examined the effects of a 12-week indoor cycling program on psychomotor and physical performance in eleventh-grade students. Forty students were allocated to an experimental group and a control group, with equal sex distribution. The experimental
group completed two 45-minute indoor cycling sessions weekly, while the control group followed circuit-based physical training. Outcomes included static balance, simple reaction time, eye-hand coordination, spatial orientation, an applied agility route, cycling endurance, pedaling cadence, abdominal muscular endurance, and the Cooper test. The experimental group showed greater improvements than the control group across most outcomes, including balance, reaction time, eye-hand coordination, spatial orientation, agility, cycling endurance, cadence, abdominal endurance, and aerobic performance. These findings indicate that structured indoor cycling can complement school physical education by supporting psychomotor development and physical fitness in high-school students.
