About this study

Official title: Prevention of Osteoporosis Among Sedentary Adolescent Females

Physical activity in adolescents is an important part of bone health. Good bone health in adolescents can decrease the risk of osteoporosis. This study will evaluate a program designed to increase the level of physical activity in adolescent girls.

Read the detailed description

Despite the documented health benefits of increased physical activity, there is limited research on behavioral programs designed to increase exercise in adolescents. Psychosocial characteristics, such as self-efficacy for exercise, social support for exercise from family and peers, and perceived benefits of and barriers to exercise, may predispose adolescents toward the adoption and maintenance of physical activity. This study will implement a multifaceted behavioral program specifically designed to increase bone strengthening physical activity by addressing many of the psychosocial factors relating to exercise.

Girls in this study will be enrolled in Project Fitness and Bone (FAB). The Project FAB intervention is delivered during a regular school class period 5 days per week for 10 months. One day per week is devoted to didactic presentations and/or discussion about reasons for being active, ways of overcoming barriers to being active, and strategies for maintaining an active lifestyle. The remaining four days are structured activity sessions, including a range of activities such as modified basketball, aerobic dance, and walking around a track. Primary outcome measures will include bone mass (measured via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometer [DEXA]) and serum and urinary measures of bone formation and resorption. Participants will be contacted by telephone 12 months after their final clinic visit to ascertain their activity level at that time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Project FAB (Fitness and Bone) in people with Osteoporosis, run by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) 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 4 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 24 Jun 2005.
