Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate whether the short-term use of activity tracking devices improves short-term weight loss in adolescents. The investigators will evaluate whether weight loss translates into a change in obesity-related biomarkers associated with adolescent obesity. In addition, the investigators will report outcomes after the implementation of activity tracking devices in conjunction with an intense adolescent weight loss program.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will evaluate the short-term use of activity tracking devices and their effects on short- and long-term weight loss in adolescents. The investigators plan to establish whether weight loss translates into a change in obesity-related biomarkers associated with adolescent obesity. Each participant with an activity tracking device will have the goal of reaching 10,000 steps per day, in addition to their individual fitness plan.
