Christmas seal home stay boosts Kids' health
NCT ID NCT03647007
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 10-week stay at a Danish Christmas Seal Home can improve the health, fitness, and well-being of overweight children aged 7-14. It also tested if adding a special high-intensity activity and health education program (FIFA 11 for Health) made a bigger difference than the standard program. The goal was to see both short-term and long-term effects up to a year later.
