This trial tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program can improve heart health and reduce risk factors like high blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure in school-age children. It's for children who have at least one of these problems and are not already doing intense exercise.
This study tests whether eating during a limited time window each day (like 10am–6pm) can help improve body composition, metabolism, and heart health in people who are overweight or inactive. Researchers will track your weight, fitness, and blood markers over time.
This study looks at how children’s “energy use” relates to heart and metabolism health. It may help doctors understand what healthy and unhealthy patterns look like in kids.
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
This study tests how eating sustainably can improve heart and metabolic health. It looks at whether a diet with more plant-based foods and less red meat can help people with conditions like high blood pressure or prediabetes.
This study tests whether eating only within a set daily time window can improve cardiometabolic health (things like blood sugar and heart-related measures). You may be eligible if you have overweight and borderline/high-risk blood sugar but do not have diabetes and can follow the eating and testing rules.
