NCT ID NCT07659587

First seen Jun 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a high-intensity exercise program called FIT FIRST, done three times a week for 18 weeks in school, can improve bone health in 200 Danish adolescents. Half the schools will use the program, while the other half continue as usual. Researchers will measure bone density and blood markers to see if the exercise makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Frequent intense training (3x40 minutes per week for 18 weeks)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, school-based way to strengthen bones in teenagers and reduce their risk of fractures and osteoporosis later in life.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study in healthy teens, so results may not apply to other groups. The exercise program may not be sustainable long-term or show significant bone benefits.
