This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two different types of exercise training programs — one with moderate intensity and another that combines moderate and high intensity — can improve physical fitness, heart health, and emotional well-being in teenage girls who are overweight or obese. Over 12 weeks, researchers will measure changes in fitness, blood health, cholesterol, and how girls feel about exercise and their bodies.
Many teenage girls who are overweight struggle with fitness and health risks related to their hearts and metabolism. This research aims to find out which type of exercise program works best to improve their health and whether young people actually enjoy and stick with these workouts.
If you join, you'll be assigned to one of three groups: one group will do moderate-intensity interval training for 12 weeks, another will do moderate-intensity training for 6 weeks followed by high-intensity training for 6 weeks, and a control group will continue their normal routine without structured training. You'll attend supervised exercise sessions, and researchers will measure your fitness, blood work, cholesterol, and ask about how you feel about exercise — likely through visits at the start, during, and after the 12-week program.
