“…Therefore, it seems more justified to assess the secondary biochemical parameters of insulin resistance than the insulin concentration level itself. The diet-only intervention caused greater reductions in the levels of triglycerides (at the end of active intervention) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (at subsequent follow-up) [35]. Study results suggested that diet plus exercise interventions may produce a greater improvement in metabolic parameters, especially HDL, cholesterol than only diet interventions [33,36].…”

“…Pastucha D et al compared the differences in anthropometric parameters, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and physical activity (PA) between groups of 146 obese boys and 128 obese girls. The analyses showed significant increases in VO2max values in both groups of boys ( p = 0.00028) and girls ( p = 0.00012) [35]. Both groups also showed significant increases in the total amount of PA.…”

Obese children are exposed to short and long-term health consequences, such as dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. For these reasons, the prevention and treatment of obesity in the pediatric population is a challenge for health care professionals. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an intensive intervention based on diet and physical activity has a better impact on the auxological and biochemical parameters than standard care (intervention). The study included 20 children (six boys, 14 girls), of the mean age 8.9 (SD 1.4) before puberty. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: Group I (starting treatment with intensive intervention), and II (starting treatment with standard intervention). After three months, the groups were switched. The comparison of the two interventions in the study group indicates a better effectiveness of intensive intervention in the improvement of anthropometric parameters and majority of biochemical ones (except for insulin concentration, HOMA IR index and LDL cholesterol). As the result of intensive intervention, the mean % of weight-to-height excess and hip circumference decreased significantly (p < 0.005). Our results confirm that complex intervention based on systematic control visits, including personalized dietitian counselling and physician care, during the weight reduction process is more effective than a one-off standard visit.
