Of the 54 Los Angeles County teens (average age 15) who participated in a 16-week study, some took one nutrition class a week, some took one nutrition class and two strength-training classes per week, and others were in a control group receiving no health-related interventions. The goals of the classes were to get teens to decrease added sugar and increase fiber consumption.
