Effect of High-Intensity Functional Training with Basketball on Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Functional Movement Performance in Obese Adolescents.
Trial report in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential beneficial effect and efficacy of two distinct high-intensity functional training (HIFT) protocols on cardiorespiratory fitness and functional movement performance in obese adolescents.
methodsThirty-three obese adolescents were randomly divided into the HIFT combined with basketball group (HB, n = 11), the HIFT group ( n = 11), and the control group (no structured training, n = 11), with a 12-wk intervention (3 sessions/wk, 45 min/training session). Body composition analysis, pulse wave velocity, flow-mediated dilation measurement, heart rate variability assessment, maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2 max) test, and functional movement performance test (Vertec jump, sitting anterior flexion, T-run, 300-yd shuttle run, Y-balance) were employed to evaluate their fitness.
resultsBoth interventions significantly reduced body weight, body mass index, and fat mass, while increasing water content. Additionally, HIFT could increase the inorganic salt content, protein content, and muscle mass, while HIFT decreased body mass index-for-age z-scores significantly. In terms of cardiovascular parameters, both interventions substantially reduced blood pressure. However, HIFT could decrease the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. Additionally, both interventions significantly decreased the AIx and AIx@HR75 while improving subendocardial viability ratio and flow-mediated dilation. For heart rate variability indices, both interventions decreased the HR, increased the time-domain indices (RMSSD, PNN50, SDNN, and NN50) and total power of obese adolescents, while also elevating high-frequency and reduced low-frequency/high-frequency ratio compared with the control group. We also found that both interventions could boost VO 2 max and functional movement performance.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated HB and HIFT exerted comparable efficacy in improving the body composition parameters, cardiovascular function, and functional movement performance in obese adolescents, possibly by mitigating arterial stiffness, balancing autonomic activity, enhancing respiratory fitness, and optimizing hemodynamics.
