Combined Inspiratory Muscle Training and Functional High-Intensity Interval Training in Boys With Obesity
Conditions: Obesity & Overweight, Childhood Obesity
Sex: Male
Ages: 10 Years – 12 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 50
Sponsor: Gümüşhane Universıty
Location: Gumushane Üniversity Trabzon Gümüşhane Province
Summary
Childhood obesity is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness, impaired exercise tolerance, and altered respiratory mechanics. This randomized controlled trial investigated whether combining inspiratory muscle training with functional high-intensity interval training improves diaphragm morphology, respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, aerobic fitness, and functional exercise capacity in boys with obesity. Fifty boys aged 10-12 years were randomly assigned to six weeks of combined inspiratory muscle training and functional high-intensity interval training or usual activity.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosed cardiovascular, neuromuscular, orthopaedic, or metabolic conditions that could interfere with exercise participation.
