Exercise at different intensities for weight loss in children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether different exercise intensities help children who are above a healthy weight lose weight. It is a program that may help your child become healthier through physical activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children aged 6 to 16 who are above the weight cutoff for their age and sex.
