| Popis: | Objective: To investigate the effects of an 8-month multidisciplinary weight-control program, including 2 h/week of moderate physical activity, nutritional education lessons and psychological follow-up, on body composition and lipid oxidation rate during exercise in obese children. Design: Nineteen (7 boys and 12 girls) obese children, aged 8–12 yr [mean body mass index (BMI) z-score: 2.3 and fat mass: 35.8%] participated in this study. Before and at the end of the weight-control period body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance, lipid oxidation rate by indirect calorimetry during a graded exercise test, and time devoted to various activities and energy intake in free-living conditions by questionnaire. Results: All children completed the study, at the end of which BMI decreased significantly by mean 0.6±0.5 and 0.5±0.8 kg/m2, in boys and girls, respectively (p |
