What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a special high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program can improve heart health in school-age children who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease. The program involves short bursts of intense exercise, done several times a week. Researchers will track whether the children's blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure return to healthier levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve heart health in children at risk for cardiovascular disease.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, so results depend on kids sticking with the program. The study is not yet complete, and benefits may vary.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 7-18 years at baseline. * At least one of the following cardio-metabolic abnormalities: 1. Prediabetes (Impaired fasting glucose: 5.6 ≤ fasting blood glucose level ≤ 6.9 mmol/L; or Impaired glucose tolerance: 7.8 ≤ blood glucose level after 2 hours postprandial ≤ 11.0 mmol/L). 2. Lipid abnormalities (High-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≤ 1.04 mmol/L; or Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥ 3.37 mmol/L; or Triglycerides ≥ 1.70 mmol/L, or Total cholesterol ≥ 5.18 mmol/L). 3. Elevated blood pressure (Systolic/diastolic blood pressure consistently higher than the 90th percentile for gender, age, and height; or systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥ 120/80 mmHg). * Written consent from participants and their guardians. Exclusion Criteria: * Previously diagnosed with heart failure, severe malnutrition, immune deficiency, liver or kidney disease, cancer, or other diseases deemed unsuitable for participation. * Taking weight loss drugs, or undergone weight loss surgery. * Attending behavior-based intervention programs (exercise or diet) within a year. * Regular HIIT (at least once per week). * Secondary obesity, such as neuropsychiatric disorders, endocrine disorders, sleep apnea syndrome, or other conditions. * Unable to take interventions due to health conditions, such as joint diseases, fractures, injuries. * Other situations unsuitable for participation.
