Summary
This trial tests whether a 10-week telemedicine exercise program can improve cardiorespiratory fitness and insulin resistance in Asian children aged 12-17 with low fitness levels. Participants will either join weekly online exercise sessions or follow standard activity advice. Researchers will measure changes in running laps and insulin sensitivity before and after the program.
