Sponsor's own description

The objective is to determine if how physical fitness, measured using a treadmill maximal oxidative capacity test, is associated with the capacity to metabolize a high-fat meal in pediatrics (ages 8-17 years). Ability to metabolize the meal will be assessed by profiling mitochondrial and extra-mitochondrial fatty acid metabolites. The investigators will test if fatty acid oxidation mediates the relationship between fitness and markers of metabolic health, such as insulin resistance.
