Exercise-Snacks: a fun way to boost fitness in obese teens?
NCT ID NCT06626295
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding very short, intense exercise bursts (called 'exercise-snacks') to a standard weight-management program can improve physical fitness in obese adolescents. Forty-eight teens will either do six mini-exercise sessions daily for three weeks or just receive standard care. Researchers will measure fitness, body fat, and blood vessel health at the start, end, and up to three months later.
