Physical activity significantly reduces body mass index (BMI) in children, showing a change of -0.42 kg/m2 from randomized controlled trials.
Epidemiological studies indicate certain levels of physical activity protect against childhood overweight and obesity, particularly high-intensity activity.
The review involved 106 studies, including 86 epidemiological studies, analyzing their quality through risk of bias assessments.
Promoting physical activity is promising for combating childhood overweight and obesity, though its impact on metabolically unhealthy obesity remains unclear.
