Kids' strength secrets: new study probes how exercise builds muscle
NCT ID NCT07267429
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how resistance training (like lifting weights) helps children get stronger. Forty healthy kids will either do 12 weeks of training or be in a control group. Researchers will use ultrasound and muscle activity tests to see if strength gains come from bigger muscles or better nerve signals.
