The Impact of Resistance Exercise Training On Metabolic Dysregulation in Obese Children.
March 3, 2009 updated by: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre
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.
