CASH- Children Active to Stay Healthy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Childhood Obesity, Inflammation

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on inflammation and endothelial dysfunction found in children with obesity. Our working hypothesis is that, compared with obese children prescribed moderate exercise, obese children prescribed HIIE will demonstrate greater improvements in endothelial function and inflammatory markers following a 6-week exercise intervention.
