Summary
This study tests a physical activity program called ActiveGirls in 40 girls ages 8-12 who are at higher risk for PCOS and insulin resistance. Some girls get health coaching plus text messages, while others get only texts. Researchers will see if the program is acceptable and if it improves physical activity, hormone levels, and diabetes risk markers over one year.
