Exercise comparison for children with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
