Multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions for children with obesity in Denmark often include recommendations regarding physical activity, but no structured exercise program. We hypothesized that adding high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to a multidisciplinary intervention would improve BMI z-score (primary outcome), waist circumference, blood pressure, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This randomized controlled trial included 173 adolescents obesity. Participants were allocated 12-months (N = 83), or 12-month accompanied by 12-week HIIT program 90). consisted three weekly sessions activities eliciting intensities >85% maximal heart rate.

Abstract Background In a recent study, we examined Covid-19 pandemic effects on the physical fitness of German third-graders tested between 2016 and 2022. The present report includes new data from 2023 to examine whether there were post-pandemic rebounds in negatively affected components, potential rebound differed by school social status. Methods EMOTIKON project annually tests all Federal State Brandenburg, Germany. Tests assess cardiorespiratory endurance (6-min-run), coordination (star-run), speed (20-m linear sprint), lower (powerLOW, standing long jump), upper (powerUP, ball-push test) limbs muscle power, static balance (one-legged-stance test). A total 108,308 aged 8 9.2 years 444 schools falls 2023. Linear mixed models, specified for regression discontinuity design with random factors child school, estimated first day year 2020/21 (i.e., critical date), as well cohort trends before after onset. Results Higher status was associated better endurance, coordination, speed, powerLOW. At date, small negative powerUP. Pandemic larger higher Coordination powerUP characterized rebound, slightly There no evidence speed. Conclusions Absence task-specific may indicate long-term consequences pandemic-related movement restrictions. Lower powerLOW low need improved access sports opportunities these schools.

Childhood obesity, with its metabolic complications, is a problem of public health. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has recommended glucose levels 1 h post oral load (1h-PG) > 155–209 mg/dL as diagnostic for intermediate hyperglycemia (IH), while >209 type 2 diabetes (T2D). aim the study was to assess occurrence prediabetes, IH, and T2D in children adolescents simple obesity according criteria American Association (ADA) IDF, effect COVID-19 pandemic on these disorders. Analysis included 263 screened either prepandemic (PRE—113 cases) or post-pandemic period (POST—150 cases). All underwent OGTT measurements insulin every 0.5 h, lipid profile, other tests; indices if resistance (IR): HOMA, QUICKI, Matsuda index, AUC (glu/ins) were calculated. incidence T2D, IH higher POST respect PRE, significant differences IR, except HOMA.
