ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how a short, intense exercise test called the Spartacus test affects certain blood markers in teenage girls who are either normal weight or overweight/obese. The researchers want to see if this exercise changes how the body processes sugar and fats, how it affects inflammation (which is the body’s response to stress or injury), and whether it causes any changes in liver and muscle health or the balance of important minerals in the blood. Blood samples will be taken before exercise, right after the test, and again 30 minutes later to check these changes.
Girls aged 14 to 18 who are either normal weight or overweight/obese based on their body mass index (BMI) may be eligible to join, as long as they don’t have any chronic illnesses, are not pregnant, and can safely perform intense exercise. Participants will need to give consent along with a parent or guardian. During the study, they will do the exercise test while their health is closely monitored, with blood draws before and after to understand how their bodies respond. This research aims to better understand how exercise impacts health differently in normal-weight and overweight teens, which could help improve future health advice and treatments.
