“…Therefore, a comprehensive management program that includes exercise and behavior modification is crucial (17). It is essential to make exercise enjoyable and interesting for children because they can get bored of exercise quickly (18). In this study, we hypothesize that active video games and music-accompanied aerobic and calisthenic exercises will contribute positively to children’s BMI percentile and psychosocial status.…”

Objective:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of active video games and music-accompanied aerobic and callisthenic exercises on body mass index (BMI), body fat ratio, physical performance tests, psychosocial status, and self-respect in overweight and obese adolescents.Methods:Fifty (21 males and 29 females) slightly overweight and obese participants with no chronic disorder and of an average age of 12.16±0.99 years were included in the study. The percentile values for BMI, triceps skinfold thickness, waist circumference measurements, and physical performance tests were evaluated. The effects of obesity on psychological wellness were evaluated using the depression scale for children (DSC) and the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale for self-esteem. Following these evaluations, the participants were subjected to an exercise program in five groups of 10 people, 3 days a week for a duration of 8 weeks. Each exercise session lasted 45 minutes. Participants were re-evaluated at the end of the exercise program. The data collected both before and after the exercise program were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program.Results:According to BMI reference values, 28% of the 50 participants (n=14; 6 males and 8 females) were assessed to be overweight and 72% to be obese (n=36; 15 males and 21 females). Following the exercise program, 14% of the participants (n=7; 3 males and 4 females) were assessed as normal, 46% (n=23; 14 males and 9 female) as slightly overweight, and 40% (n=20; 4 male and 16 female) as obese. It was determined that the decrease in BMI values (p<0.05) was higher in male participants than in female participants and that the frequency of obesity was higher in the females. A statistically significant decrease in BMI values was found after the exercise program (p<0.01). Following the exercise program, statistically significant differences have also been observed in the self-esteem (p<0.01), psychological wellness (p=0.025), triceps skinfold thickness, as well as in waist circumference and BMI values of the participants compared to the pre-exercise phase (p<0.01).Conclusion:An exercise program applied with active video games was found to have positive effects on the obese state as well as on the psychosocial status and self-esteem of obese individuals, indicating that exercise and physical activity have an important role in improvement of the obese state in childhood as well as having positive contributions to self-esteem and psychological wellness state.

Motivational Interviewing to Treat Overweight Children: 24-Month Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Pediatrician-led motivational interviewing can be an effective way of controlling BMI in overweight children in the short term. Its long-term efficacy is unknown. The primary aim was to determine whether the short-term (12-month) impact of family pediatrician-led motivational interviews on the BMI of overweight children could be sustained in the long term (24 months), in the absence of any other intervention.

“…Standardized BMI score (BMIz or BMI SDS) is the most common metric but others include waist circumference, 19,112 percent body fat, 18,19 BMI percentile, 16,20 percent over BMI 21 . Within the six trials reporting standardized BMI score, only four achieved significantly greater pre to post-treatment (16-weeks to 12-months) mean reductions in BMIz for intervention compared to control arms 16,18,20,22,112 In these trials, mean change in BMI z-score for intervention preschoolers at post-treatment ranged from −0.37 to −0.50. 16,18,20,22 Outcomes were maintained at follow-up time points 6-months post-treatment for two trials 16,20 and 12- and 24-months post-treatment for one trial.…”

SYNOPSIS Developing interventions targeting obesity reduction in preschoolers is an emergent area. While intensive, multi-component interventions appear a promising approach to preschool obesity reduction, the current review identifies three critical gaps (poor reach to families from low-income and minority backgrounds, do not provide sufficient evidence to determine the most effective and efficient treatment components and approaches to treating obesity in early childhood, and lack consensus on how best to discern intervention effectiveness) in the extent preschool obesity intervention literature. Approaches for addressing each gap are discussed.
