Filter by:Overweight and obesity, understood as an accumulation of abnormal and excessive fat, are the second leading cause of preventable and avoidable mortality in developed countries, with more than 340 million children and adolescents affected by this disease worldwide. As a consequence, overweight and obesity at an early age is already considered a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), with a high incidence in developed countries. The abuse of new technologies has remained at worrying levels in the post-COVID period, favoring an increase in the adolescent population considered sedentary. In this regard, up to 70% of adolescents show sedentary behaviors, especially affecting the time spent on screens by both males (93.8%) and females (87.2%). Thus, the use of the cell phone has been shown to be a determining factor, since between 10% and 16% of adolescents show a problematic use of this device, affecting, among other aspects, their behavior during their free time. In recent years there has been an increase in sedentary time among adolescents and a decrease in the practice of physical activity that has favored a greater accumulation of body fat and increased the probability of being overweight or obese. In this context, some studies have tried to encourage the practice of physical activity in the school context in overweight and obese population, being these interventions effective to improve body composition. However, these interventions also have their detractors, who argue that the hours of Physical Education are too limited to dedicate so much time to a single content, and that the pedagogical component is often overlooked in their implementation. As an alternative to the above, it has been suggested that Physical Education classes could be used to promote interventions that encourage adolescents to practice physical activity in their free time, and mobile applications could be used to monitor the activity carried out by adolescents, but also as an element that generates adherence and enjoyment in this population. Research in this population using these technologies is scarce, therefore, this project aims to determine the effectiveness of a ten-week intervention promoted from the subject of physical education in which a mobile application is used after school hours on physical activity, body composition and fitness in overweight or obese adolescents.
This study is a clinical trial will be carried out during academic term to assess the potential effects of the Daily Mile program on health-related physical fitness and sleep quality on overweight/obese schoolchildren.The trial will be taken place in Bucaramanga, Colombia
This study evaluates the associations between baseline decision-making processes, engagement in problematic dietary practices, and post-intervention weight loss outcomes among adolescents. Results from the study will provide specific direction for what components should comprise future decision-making interventions for adolescents with overweight/obesity.
The aim of this project is to develop multiple behavioral strategies for the prevention of obesity in adolescents. ASGE-FABES [Adolescent Health Promotion Physical Activity, Physical activity of overweight and obese youth of Nutrition, Stress Management] Program,to evaluate its effects on nutrition and mental health. Program overweight and obeseadolescents to lose weight in a healthy way, healthy lifestyle behaviors make healthy choices, nutritional and physical activity knowledgecognitive and It aims to gain behavioral skills. In the study, "pretest-posttest in randomized groupswith control group, with repeated measures & quot; experimental design type is used. The sample of the research,250 (125-experiment, 125-control) constituted an overweight and obese adolescent.
Investigators will test the health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast or isocaloric breakfast and performing regular physical exercise training for 12 weeks in young overweight women (2 x 2 factorial design). Measurements of body composition, physical fitness, metabolic health parameters, faeces and urine metabolites, and food diary will be collected.
Dog ownership can serve as a vehicle for large-scale multi-level public health interventions, especially for pediatric overweight and obesity, due to dogs' unique place in children and adolescents' social networks.This study develops and tests a novel approach to design a Canine Health-Literacy module to enhance a Comprehensive Family Lifestyle Intervention BodyWorks, for dog-owning adolescents who have been diagnosed with overweight or obesity, and their parents. The results are anticipated to make an important step towards addressing the overweight and obesity epidemic among both people and companion dogs in the U.S.
This study will examine race differences in total energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (RQ) during and after exercise, compared to a sedentary control condition, in adolescent girls who are classified as overweight. In addition, subjective appetite and objective energy intake will be measured throughout the assessment periods.
Investigators will test the long-term health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast and/or performing regular physical training for 12 weeks in 100 previous 'breakfast skipping' young overweight women (2 x 2 factorial design). Measurements of body composition, physical fitness, metabolic health parameters, faeces (microbiota activity and composition), satiety and daily energy intake will be collected.
This study assesses whether oral supplementation with vitamin D contributes to the reduction of body mass index and lipid profile in adolescents and young adults. The intervention group will receive 1000 IU of vitamin D (DV) and the control group 200 IU of DV.
