Structured Exercise Prescription Program in Obese Children

Summary

This controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of a multicomponent program that includes structured personalized exercise prescription in children with obesity with a control group that will be enrolled in a multicomponent program without structured personalized exercise prescription. All children will be followed for a period of 6 months.

The parameters that will be evaluated between groups are physical fitness, anthropometry, metabolic (glucose oral tolerance curve, lipids, HOMA-IR, ISI-MATSUDA), early cardiovascular damage, inflammatory biomarkers, anxiety and depression scores, and allelic variants related to physical fitness.
