The Physical activity for OverWEight youth at Risk for type 2 diabetes (POWER) Trial
FY 2009-10
Summary
The Physical activity for OverWEight youth at Risk for type 2 diabetes (POWER) Trial is a randomized controlled clinical trial designed to study the effects of different exercise training programs on the risk for type 2 diabetes in overweight youth. We will recruit 120 overweight adolescents and randomly assign them to one of two six-month intervention: (1) a low intensity continuous activity arm (2) a vigorous intensity intermittent activity arm or a wait-list control group. The relevance of the project for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in youth is two-fold: (1) it will provide strong evidence for the optimal intensity of physical activity required to reduce the risk for diabetes, and (2) it will provide evidence for ta novel mechanism to explain why some youth progress to diabetes and others do not.
