STRONG Trial Summary

This trial will study how overweight adolescent girls of different races burn energy and how that affects their appetites.

Participants must have started menstruation, identify as non-Hispanic White or African-American, and be willing to keep their usual physical activity, sleep schedule, and diet during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is looking at how acute exercise affects total energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (RQ) in comparison to being sedentary. It also aims to measure changes in appetite feelings and actual food intake after exercising among these young girls.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves acute exercise as an intervention, potential side effects may include typical post-exercise symptoms such as muscle soreness, fatigue or short-term changes in appetite.
