Summary

This pilot study is a randomized control trial to test the effects of a 14-week home-based virtual, interactive high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise intervention on cardiometabolic and cognitive outcomes in sedentary youth with overweight/obesity during adolescence. All participants (N=24) will complete screening via phone to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive a) 14 weeks of a home-based HIIT intervention delivered via iPad or b) 14 weeks of a stretching intervention (control group). Each participant will undergo an in-lab pre- and post-test visit, where they will complete a fasting blood draw, a fitness test, and various cognitive and mental health measures.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HIIT Exercise Intervention

Exercise trainers will provide encouragement and supervision for exercise prescription adherence and youth will select an age-appropriate music playlist from Spotify to enhance enjoyment throughout each session. Each exercise session consists of a 5-minute warm-up (10% HRmax), followed by a 20-minute HIIT protocol. The 20-minute HIIT protocol consists of seven bouts of 1-min high intensity exercise (90% HRmax) followed by 2-min of active recovery (10% HRmax). Participants will be encouraged to complete each exercise session with at least 24 hours of rest between each session.

BEHAVIORAL

Stretching Intervention

This group will perform a home-based program of the same stretches utilized in the exercise group. The stretching protocol consists of one set of 4 static stretching exercises held for 30 seconds and performed 3 days/week. As flexibility exercises are low-intensity, low-impact and low-volume, minimal caloric expenditure is expected to be incurred. To increase compliance and aid in the standardization of the home-based stretching, participants will be provided a booklet of the flexibility exercises. Participants will be shown how to use the booklet and instructed in the stretching exercises by an exercise trainer prior to the intervention.
