The Impact of Resistance Exercise Training On Metabolic Dysregulation in Obese Children.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Childhood Obesity; Body Composition; Resistance Training; Insulin Resistance
• Interventions: Behavioral: resistance training

• Registration Number: NCT00460135
• Lead Sponsor: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre

Brief Summary

Impact of resistance training in prepubertal children with obesity focusing mostly in changes in body composition and markers of insulin resistance.

Hypothesis is that this will show positive changes in this randomized controlled trial.

Detailed Description

24 obese prepubertal obese children randomized to either resistance training program or usual care for 12 weeks. Baseline blood profiles and DEXA scans done before and after 12 weeks of training with the help of kinesiology graduates from Concordia University kinesiology department.
