Breathing and exercise training for teens with obesity and learning disorders
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing exercises and physical training can help teenagers with obesity and learning disabilities. It aims to see if these exercises improve their breathing and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an “inspiratory pulmonary rehabilitation” program—guided breathing and exercise training—for children who have obesity and mild asthma. It may help improve breathing control and exercise ability by teaching safe, structured breathing and activity habits.
This study tests whether adding exercise training and/or a diet plan to a weight management program helps improve heart health in teens with obesity. It might be a good fit if your teen is ready to make lifestyle changes and does not have certain health conditions like diabetes or asthma.
This study examines how obesity affects your breathing capacity and muscle strength, especially when your lungs show a restrictive pattern (difficulty expanding fully). Researchers will assess your body composition, physical function, and respiratory muscle endurance to better understand these connections.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program helps children and teens with mild, moderate, or severe asthma breathe better and feel more confident. Participants will exercise regularly and share their experiences in group discussions.
This trial tests if training your breathing muscles can improve respiratory function in people with obesity. It aims to help those with a BMI of 30 or higher.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises can help teens with scoliosis who are also doing Schroth therapy. It aims to strengthen the muscles that help you breathe.
