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.

This study tests whether different levels of exercise help children with obesity lose weight. You will be assigned to one of two or more exercise programs and monitored for about a year.
This study compares two types of exercise programs — progressive neuromuscular stabilization exercises versus aerobic exercises — to see which one better improves body composition and balance in children with obesity. It aims to find a fun, effective way to help kids move better and feel healthier.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart health and fitness in young adults with obesity. You would participate in a supervised exercise program to see if it helps lower your risk of future health problems.
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 trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve health problems linked to severe obesity in teenagers, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or mood concerns. It aims to find better ways to support teens struggling with weight and related conditions.
