NCT ID NCT07344870
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a 4-week nutrition education program for parents could improve the body composition and athletic performance of 30 young basketball players aged 8 to 13. Parents learned about healthy eating, and researchers measured changes in the kids' lean body mass, fat percentage, and performance tests like jumping and sprinting. The goal was to see if teaching parents could help young athletes grow and play better.
