Tele-exercise to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescents

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional program compares a 10-week telemedicine-delivered exercise program with an active lifestyle program (daily step-count monitoring) in Asian adolescents with low cardiorespiratory fitness. Participants aged 12–17 will be assigned to weekly tele-exercise sessions or to follow active lifestyle recommendations and will report daily steps, with clinic visits for baseline and follow-up testing. Primary outcomes are change in 20-metre shuttle run laps (cardiorespiratory fitness) and insulin sensitivity measured by HOMA-IR. The remote delivery aims to reduce barriers such as travel and caregiver availability and to test whether a shorter 10-week program can meaningfully change fitness and glucose metabolism.
