Brief Summary: The purpose of this trial is to examine whether adding greater physical activity to standard family-based behavioral pediatric obesity treatment decreases the amount of visceral fat among treated overweight children.
Detailed Description: Adult studies suggest that greater visceral fat confers more health risk than peripheral fat accumulation and that physical activity interventions (as part of general weight control interventions) are efficacious in reducing adults' visceral fat. There are few studies examining the impact of physical activity and/or general weight loss on children's visceral fat accumulation. The present study compares standard family-based behavioral weight control treatment for pediatric obesity (STANDARD) with standard treatment plus added emphasis on participants attaining high levels of physical activity (ADDED). Both conditions receive the same behavioral dietary intervention and therapeutic contact and attention. The ADDED condition receives the recommendation and goal to be active at least 90 minutes per day, with behavioral strategies targeting increasing and sustaining these high levels of physical activity.
