Study Summary

This trial will test how well children can metabolize a high-fat meal after exercising, to see if it affects their insulin resistance.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 8-17 with obesity, specifically those who are heavier than at least 5% of kids their age. They must be able to do a treadmill test and not take meds that affect blood sugar levels. Kids with inherited fat metabolism issues, allergies to certain fats or proteins in the meal challenge, or diagnosed diabetes can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study looks at how fit kids handle a high-fat meal. Fitness is checked on a treadmill and then researchers see how well their bodies break down the fat by looking at different markers in the blood related to health and insulin resistance.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves eating a high-fat meal and exercising on a treadmill, side effects might include stomach discomfort or nausea from the meal, as well as typical exercise-related fatigue or muscle soreness.
