Study Summary

This trial will look at how strength training affects kids' muscles and fats.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy boys and girls aged 8-10 years who have no history of neuromuscular or musculoskeletal injuries, nor any ongoing diseases affecting metabolism. It's designed to see how well they respond to resistance exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study focuses on the impact of resistance training exercises on muscle strength and fat content in children's muscles. Participants will undergo a structured workout routine over a set period.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and the risk of injury if exercises are not performed correctly.
