The Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training(HIIT) on Cardio-metabolic Indicators in School-age Children With High Cardiovascular Diseases Risk--a Randomised Intervention Trial
This study aims to evaluate the health promotion effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention on school-age children who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as the long-term adherence and acceptability of HIIT in this population for future application.
Inclusion: Aged 7-18 years at baseline; At least one of the following cardio-metabolic abnormalities:; Prediabetes (Impaired fasting glucose: 5.6 ≤ fasting blood glucose level ≤ 6.9 mmol/L; or Impaired glucose tolerance: 7.8 ≤ blood glucose level after 2 hours postprandial ≤ 11.0 mmol/L); Lipid abnormalities (High-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≤ 1.04 mmol/L; or Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥ 3.37 mmol/L; or Triglycerides ≥ 1.70 mmol/L, or Total cholesterol ≥ 5.18 mmol/L); Elevated blood pressure (Systolic/diastolic blood pressure consistently higher than the 90th percentile for gender, age, and height; or systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥ 120/80 mmHg); Written consent from participants and their guardians.
Exclusion: Previously diagnosed with heart failure, severe malnutrition, immune deficiency, liver or kidney disease, cancer, or other diseases deemed unsuitable for participation; Taking weight loss drugs, or undergone weight loss surgery; Secondary obesity, such as neuropsychiatric disorders, endocrine disorders, sleep apnea syndrome, or other conditions; Unable to take interventions due to health conditions, such as joint diseases, fractures, injuries; Attending behavior-based intervention programs (exercise or diet) within a year; Regular HIIT (at least once per week); Other situations unsuitable for participation.
