NCT ID NCT07512570
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will test whether a structured 8-week resistance training program is feasible and safe for children aged 10-14. Researchers will measure muscle quality, strength, and body composition in 31 participants. The goal is to gather data to design a larger, more definitive trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Progressive Resistance Training Program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that resistance training is a safe and effective way to improve muscle health in children, paving the way for larger studies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 31 children, so results may not apply to all kids. It focuses on feasibility, not on proving health benefits.
