Summary

Prevalence rates of childhood obesity have reached alarming levels. As childhood obesity may already be associated with serious comorbidities, obese adolescents are at significantly higher risk for obesity and increased morbidity and mortality during adulthood. Combined lifestyle interventions, which include regular physical activity and dietary restriction, have been shown to result in most significant improvements in cardiovascular function and their associated factors in the pediatric and adolescent population with obesity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a combined exercise and diet intervention on cardiovascular function and their associated factors in obese children.

Conditions

  • Childhood Obesity
  • Adolescent Obesity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

Subjects were provided with energy-restricted diets of 1300-2200 kcal/day based on weight. The energy percentages provided by protein, fat and carbohydrate were 20%, 20% and 60%, respectively, while energy distributions at breakfast, lunch and dinner were 30%, 40% and 30%, respectively. Subjects performed a series of endurance exercise such as bicycling, walking, running, dancing and ball games for 5 hour/day, supplemented with resistance exercise. Training interventions were performed 5-6 day/week for 6 weeks. The exercise program was designed to result in an energy expenditure of 1500-2500 kcal/day.
