Teens with obesity: could a 12-week exercise and diet program improve your health?
NCT ID NCT06848478
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables affect the heart and metabolic health of 120 teens aged 13–17 with obesity. Participants will be split into four groups: standard care, exercise only, diet only, or both exercise and diet. Over 12 weeks, researchers will measure changes in blood fats, blood sugar, blood pressure, body fat, and fitness to see which approach works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
exercise and dietary enrichment with fruits and vegetables
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that combining exercise with a fruit- and vegetable-rich diet improves heart and metabolic health in teens with obesity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage behavioral study (120 teens) with no blinding, so results may be influenced by participant motivation or other factors. It tests lifestyle changes, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
