Obesity (Silver Spring)
April 2012
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how a 16-week program aimed at improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation affected obese African-American and Latino adolescents.
- It included 100 participants divided into three groups: control, nutrition education, and nutrition plus strength training, with notable improvements in insulin sensitivity and body composition depending on the intervention.
- Results showed that while both ethnic groups experienced metabolic health improvements, specific adverse effects were observed in African Americans in the nutrition group, indicating a need for tailored approaches in interventions.
