Exercise training for kids with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training or a mix of HIIT and jumping exercises) improve muscle and tendon health in children and teenagers with obesity. It looks at how results differ based on whether kids are before or after their growth spurt.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or teenager with obesity (BMI z-score between 2 and 3.5).
- You are either before your growth spurt (pre-APHV) or after it (post-APHV).
- You do not have a condition that prevents exercise, like a heart problem or a muscle/bone injury.
- You have not been in a supervised exercise program in the last 6 months.
- You do not have a cognitive disability that would make it hard to follow instructions.
