Summary

We are conducting an intervention study to examine the effects of a 16-week exercise and diet interventions on prevention of disease, specifically type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in Latino youth. Eighty overweight Latino boys and girls will be recruited and placed in one of the following intervention groups: 1) Control Group (delayed intervention), 2) Dietary Education Group (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar \& soda, increased fiber \& whole grain intake), 3) Combination of Strength Training (twice/week for 60 min, progressive increases in exercise volume and intensity) + Dietary Education (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar \& soda, increased fiber \& whole grain intake) or 4) Combination of Circuit Training (twice/week for 60 min, aerobic + strength training exercises) + Dietary Education (same as above). We will assess which intervention group has the most effects on health parameters such as weight, body composition, and insulin related measures.
