Comparative Study of High Intensity Interval Training and Endurance Training in Juvenile Obesity

May 20, 2014 updated by: Bruno Gualano, University of Sao Paulo
Exercise is an effective strategy to manage juvenile obesity; however this ideal exercise training mode is still unclear. In this study, the investigators compared the health-related effects of high intensity interval training versus endurance training in obese children.
