Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects of a 14-week home-based high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise intervention on cardiometabolic and cognitive outcomes in sedentary youth with overweight/obesity during adolescence.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for sedentary young people who are overweight or obese, with a BMI at or above the 85th percentile. They should not currently be meeting physical activity guidelines and must have space for a stationary bike at home. Participants should not be pregnant, on metabolism-altering meds, allergic to metals, actively exercising elsewhere, or have significant medical issues like diabetes.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a 14-week high intensity interval training (HIIT) program can improve heart health and brain function in inactive teens with obesity. It's done from home using an iPad app. Half of the participants will do HIIT while the other half will do stretching exercises as a comparison group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. Since it's an intense form of exercise, there might also be risks of overexertion like dizziness or shortness of breath.
