Exercise boosts body composition in overweight boys, study finds
NCT ID NCT07586579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether aerobic exercise can change body composition—like body fat, muscle, water, and bone mass—in overweight and obese boys aged 8 to 12. A total of 80 boys participated, and their body measurements were taken using a special scale. The goal was to see if exercise helps improve these health markers in a way that BMI alone cannot show.
