Brief Summary: This study is a clinical trial will be carried out during academic term to assess the potential effects of the Daily Mile program on health-related physical fitness and sleep quality on overweightobese schoolchildrenThe trial will be taken place in Bucaramanga Colombia
Detailed Description: Introduction Regular physical activity is essential for promoting health and well-being especially during childhood and adolescence The World Health Organization WHO recommends that children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 years should average 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity per day primarily of aerobic capacity with the aim of preventing andor reducing the incidence of overweight non-communicable diseases in adulthood and modifying emotional behaviors such as enjoyment intrinsic motivation and perceived autonomy among others Modifications in these recommendations have probably been generated due to the increase of physical inactivity prevalence and sedentary behaviours in the population which have been related to an increased risk of obesity cardiovascular disease diabetes coronary heart disease and stroke as well as delayed cognitive development and decreased in the academic performance of children and young people

Recently the WHO classified physical inactivity as the fourth mortality risk factor with 6 after hypertension 13 smoking 9 and diabetes 69 In Colombia the National Survey of the Nutritional Situation ENSIN 2015 found that only 358 of boys and 26 of girls between 6 and 12 years of age complied with the physical activity recommendations

The previous Survey shows that 253 of boys and 235 of girls between 5 and 12 years of age are overweight or obese which means an increase of 51 and 62 respectively in relation to the year 2010 and 101 and 98 in relation to the year 2005 indicating a substantial increase in the data related to body weight In Colombia In 2016 worldwide it was estimated that the number of children under five years of age with obesity exceeded 41 million In the same way it has been found that the presence of overweight and obesity increases the probability of the development of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndromes

In response to this situation one of the objectives established by the WHOs global action plan on physical activity 2018-2030 was to reduce the prevalence of physical inactivity by 10 by 2025 and 15 by 2030 For this reason two of the strategic objectives have been called Create active environments and create active people whose purpose is to create and promote spaces and access to programs and opportunities that increase physical activity in their different communities and that in the case of the school population a greater participation in physical activity leads to a greater capacity for concentration and cognitive function which could result in an improvement in academic performance

A physical activity program to be developed in school environments is The Daily Mile DM It is an initiative created at St Ninian Primary School Stirling Scotland in 2012 that was initially proposed as a solution to a perceived lack of physical fitness in children between 5 and 12 years of age The DMaily Mile encompasses a 15-minute walking jogging or running each day without additional material resources or clothing within their class time

Although the Daily Mile program has grown in popularity among schools in the United Kingdom the United States Italy and the Netherlands among others there is no evidence of research carried out on schoolchildren implementing this program in Colombia or in overweightobese children There is an urgent need for results from well-designed experimental studies that enable a better understanding of the impact of exercise in school environments on various health outcomes

Methodology The intervention will start in the middle of the first academic term The Daily Mile intervention will be consisted of walking jogging or running for 15 min one mile of exercise at a pace self-selected by each individual child outside the school buildings during recess time three times a week Children were instructed to maintain active for the full 15 min and if necessary to stop for resting only occasionally The program will be guided and supervised by physical education professionals previously trained All the sessions will take place at the outside School buildings
