| Popis: | In an attempt to combat the nation's so-called “obesity epidemic,” tertiary weight-management clinics have emerged to help overweight and obese children develop strategies to better manage their health.

This article suggests a new, innovative way to affect change at these clinics by fostering a sense of athletic identity among the overweight or obese children. |
