Brief Summary:
The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of either a multidisciplinary approach or intensity-controlled interval training on cardiovascular risk factors in overweight adolescents
Detailed Description:
Several approaches have been used to improve cardiovascular health status and quality of life in obese children and adolescents without coming to a consensus decision Recently a few studies have determined the effects of exercise training and diet on endothelial function in overweight and obese children and adolescents The main findings are that only a moderate amount of exercise training and diet changes improves or restores endothelial function It is difficult however to asses the separate effects of the training and diet particularly because none of the studies have used a homogenous exercise training regimen Unanimously better but affordable prevention and treatment strategies to improve wide-scale health outcome are called upon to slow down the current epidemic of overweight It is now well established that physical activity reduces but does not currently prevent the epidemic of obesity from either reaching global proportions or taxing public health and economy Despite the recent advances in understanding the responsible biology of improved cardiovascular health with exercise training several lines of research questions are still unresolved For instance the optimal program eg when to initiate whom to prescribe exercise to which exercise-intensity is required and the actual design of the treatment program remain by far yet to determine
