“…However for how long these changes could be sustained needs to be investigated. Similar to our results, Poeta 20 verified the effectiveness of nutritional counseling for parents and children in combination with physical activity promotion (3 times per week) in older children (8-11 years). The authors observed a significant decrease in body fat, BMI, skinfold thickness, arm circumference, and increased hand grip strength and physical fitness levels after 3 months of intervention.…”

“…In addition, Poeta 20 verified that 12 weeks of intervention (nutritional counseling for parents and children) for changing lifestyle in older children (8-11 years) resulted in positive effects in children's health parameters. In a study conducted by our group, it was reported significant improvement in children's (9-11 years) health parameters (anthropometrics, biochemical parameters, physical activity level, and fruit consumption) after attendance in a program supported by a physical educator and parents, which included health guidelines, the use of an educational-motivational tool, and the introduction of recreational activities for ten weeks 21 .…”

“…These results are consistent with other short-term studies of overweight and obese children and adolescents who have combined diet and exercise 20,21. Although there was a reduction in FG in the IG and an increase in FG in the CG, these results were not significant.…”

“…Our data corroborate the findings of an intervention study involving obese children, in which a reduction in CCA-IMT was observed after 12 weeks of exercise, even in the absence of significant changes in C-reactive protein or triglyceride levels. 20 The reduction in CCA-IMT after exercise may be explained by hemodynamic, antioxidant and antiatherogenic mechanisms (e.g., altered physical strength, upregulation of vascular eNOS and superoxide dismutase expression, downregulation of P-selectin, V-CAM and MCP-1 expression), as most of these changes occur after 4 weeks of training. 21 Likewise, we hypothesize that regression of IMT occurred rapidly due to the plasticity of the cardiovascular tissue during the pubertal period, to hypoactivity as seen in chronic diseases, 3 or to a "less favorable scenario" such as pediatric HIV infection.…”
