Aerobic vs circuit training for healthy kids
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether aerobic training (like running) or circuit training (moving through different exercise stations) is better for keeping healthy children fit. If your child qualifies, they will take part in the exercise program at their school.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 7 and 12 years old.
- They should be generally healthy (no depression, anxiety, balance problems, or vision issues).
- They need to have a normal body mass index (between 13.3 and 24.1).
- They should score at least 85% on a fitness test.
- They need to have a good quality of life score (at least 50).
- They haven't done this type of training before, and both you and your child agree to participate.
