Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Given the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity, effective and cost-efficient strategies to enhance children's physical activity levels are needed. Unfortunately, exercise interventions evaluated to date have had little impact on overweight and obesity in youth. Physical activity counseling interventions have emerged as an effective and inexpensive alternative to traditional, structured exercise programs in adults, and may be an interesting option for the treatment of obesity in youth. |
