This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The Dyn@mo study helps children and teens aged 6–17 with obesity or related heart health concerns become more active. You'll wear small sensors for a week that track your heart rate, where you go, and how much you move. Then doctors will use this real-life information to create a personalized plan to help you stay active in your daily routine.
Many kids with obesity don't get enough physical activity, which puts their heart health at risk. This trial is testing whether using real-world activity data to create personalized plans works better than giving general activity advice.

You'll be randomly assigned to either the sensor-based group or the traditional counseling group. Either way, you'll wear small devices (a heart rate monitor, GPS receiver, and activity tracker) for 7 days to capture your real-life movement patterns. Then you'll meet with a healthcare provider who will either use your detailed activity data or provide general advice to help you move more and sit less. The study focuses on helping you find ways to be more active in places you already go during your day.
