What this study is about

Children who have previously participated in the study "MI Energy" will be invited to participate in "SUPER kids". Investigators want to better understand differences in nutrient use (e.g., fatty acid and carbohydrate) during rest and exercise in children of varying body types and activity levels.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Full registry criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Boys or girls * Ages 8-11 years * All races * All ethnicities * All BMIs * Children who completed a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan during "MI Energy" (IRB Protocol: 260376) * Children who completed a fitness test during "MI Energy" (IRB Protocol: 260376) and achieved peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) * All fitness levels \[VO2 peak already determined under "MI Energy" (IRB Protocol: 260376)\] * Children whose parents consented to the following in the "MI Energy" (IRB Protocol: 260376) study: A) be contacted about future follow-up studies to "MI Energy", and having the data that is collected about their child in "MI Energy" being used also in these follow-up studies; and B) information collected in the "MI Energy" study may be used in future research related to bioenergetics (for example, blood cell mitochondria function), nutrition, obesity, cardiovascular health, or development; and C) any biological samples collected in the "MI Energy" study may be used in future research related to bioenergetics (for example, blood cell mitochondria function), nutrition, obesity, cardiovascular health, or development. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who have been excluded from participation in the study "MI Energy" (IRB Protocol: 260376). * Participants whose parents report any change in medical history that may potentially affect participation and/or study outcomes as determined by PI. * Participants whose parents report food allergies or intolerances to nuts, wheat, dairy, or eggs. * Participants whose parents report unwillingness to follow dietary standardization.
