CIRCUIT Trial Summary

This trial is testing a lifestyle intervention that uses wearable sensors to gather data on a person's physical activity. The intervention is designed to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time to improve cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and disorders in glucose regulation.

Who is the study for?

The Dynamo trial is for children and teens aged 6 to 17 with obesity, specifically those with a BMI over the 95th percentile for their age and sex. It's not suitable for kids who have physical or mental health issues that would limit their ability to be active.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

This study tests a lifestyle program aimed at increasing physical activity and reducing sitting time in young people with obesity-related health risks. Participants will either get standard advice on being active or use wearable sensors that help tailor this advice.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve counseling and promoting physical activity, there are no direct medical side effects. However, increased activity could potentially lead to muscle soreness or injury if not properly supervised.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Traditional PA counselingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In this arm, while children will wear the same sensors as in the intervention arm, the intervention will not rely on data gathered using the wearable sensors. Rather, a traditional physical activity counseling strategy will be adopted in this control group.

Group II: Sensor based PA interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Children will be equipped with a heart rate monitor, a GPS receiver and an accelerometer for collection of heart rate, mobility and physical activity free-living data during a 7-day period. This will provide a 'spatio-behavioural diagnosis' using a map-based interactive web application. This data will be used to developed a tailored plan to promote physical activity in the child's every day environment.
