Breathing and interval training for boys with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a 12-week program that combines breathing muscle training with short bursts of high-intensity exercise to help boys with obesity improve fitness and breathing strength. The goal is to see if this type of training is safe and helpful for boys in this age group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be a boy between 10 and 12 years old.
- Child must meet growth-chart definitions for obesity (based on his age and sex).
- Child has not been in a structured exercise program in the past 6 months.
- A doctor must clear the child for moderate to vigorous physical activity.
- The child cannot have heart, nerve, bone, metabolic, or chronic lung conditions that would make exercise unsafe.
- The child cannot have had a chest infection in the past 2 weeks or take medicines that affect breathing or exercise.

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 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 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 looks at how an asthma-specific breathing training program affects children’s breathing and asthma control. It may help your care team understand who could benefit from inspiratory (breathing-in) training.
This trial tests whether a specific type of breathing muscle training can improve symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in people with severe obesity. It may help by strengthening the muscles used for breathing, which could reduce sleep apnea severity.
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.
