Abstract
In a randomised controlled study (n=34 intervention group, n = 32 control group) the effects of a 6-month outpatient training for overweight but not obese children and adolescents (BMI > 90(th) ≤ 97(th) percentile) were assessed up to 12 months after the end of intervention. BMI-SDS reduction was the main outcome. The results show that the lifestyle intervention "Obeldicks light" is effective to reduce overweight, as well as blood pressure and several other risk parameters in overweight children. Effects are stable over a 12 months period.
