ImpactModerate impact

The discussions suggest that the study influences ideas about adolescent fitness approaches, but not yet catalyzing widespread change.

Abstract in brief

This randomized clinical trial investigated how aerobic, resistance, or combined training affects body fat percentage and cardiometabolic risk markers in obese adolescents aged 14-18, after a 4-week preparatory phase, with participants split into four groups including a control group.
The study found that resistance training alone significantly reduced body fat compared to the control, while aerobic training showed a trend toward fat reduction, but neither was significantly different from the control; combined training did not produce significantly greater fat loss than single-modality training.
Overall, all exercise interventions, combined with dietary counseling, had some effect on body composition, but the most notable finding was that resistance training alone resulted in a significant decrease in body fat compared to no exercise.]
