NCT ID NCT07552844
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether an 8-week CrossFit program can make kids aged 7 to 11 stronger, fitter, and happier. Thirty children will be split into two groups: one does CrossFit twice a week, the other continues their normal routine. Researchers will measure physical changes like jumping and running, and also check anxiety, stress, and self-esteem.
