Effect of Home-Based Exercise Training on Anthropometric Indices and Health-Related Quality of life in Children and Adolescents with Overweight/Obesity: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate how home-based exercise affects body measurements and quality of life in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial
Included children and adolescents with overweight or obesity
Assessed changes in anthropometric indices and health-related quality of life after the intervention.
Improvements were observed in anthropometric indices other than BMI
Health-related quality of life measures did not show significant changes.
Abstract
Home-based exercise was associated with improvements in anthropometric indices other than BMI, whereas HRQoL remained unchanged in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity.
