About this study

This pilot study seeks to compare the change in energy expenditure and fitness levels of patients seen in the Children's Hospital Preventive Cardiology program receiving standard of care provider exercise counseling to similar patients receiving Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type (FITT) exercise prescription and counseling combined with BodyMedia supported by an online interactive tool.

The investigators primary hypothesis is that this interactive technology coupled with support from a exercise specialist will increase the energy expenditure of the investigators patients over standard of care provider counseling.

The investigators Secondary hypotheses include greater improvement in measured physical fitness Peak oxygen consumption (VO2max), oxygen consumption (VO2) at anaerobic threshold (AT) and ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2) slope, lipid profiles, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile, and self-efficacy in the intervention group compared to control.

InterventionExperimentalThe intervention group received a personalized exercise prescription (using the FITT principles) and wore an accelerometer up to 7days/week (most waking hours) and logged their activity by regularly (3 times a week) uploading the device for a period of 3 months, use of the internet was supervised by a parent or guardian. Their activity was monitored via the online BodyMedia site on a regular basis by study personnel and feedback was provided at least once a week through email and/or phone calls

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BodyMedia in people with Coronary Artery Disease Risk High, run by Boston Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Physical Activity (time frame: Baseline, 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2019.
