NCT ID NCT07393789
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 16-week structured physical activity program could improve fitness, daily steps, and body weight in children aged 8 to 10. 178 kids were split into two groups: one did the program, the other continued their normal routine. Researchers measured jump distance, grip strength, running performance, and body mass index to see if the program made a difference.
