Abstract

z-score (−0.12 [−0.27 to 0.04], p = 0.178) were not statistically significant. However, there was a significant group-by-time interaction for body fat (−1.96% [−3.02 to −0.89, p = 0.006). Intervention effects for physical activity, screen-time and dietary intake were not statistically significant. Moderation analysis revealed that participants who were obese at baseline and those with low physical activity self-efficacy and self-esteem were unresponsive to the intervention. Conclusion: The NEAT Girls intervention did not impact upon the primary outcome, but changes in body fat were statistically significant and in favour of the intervention group. Moderation analyses indicated that obese adolescent girls did not benefit from the program and may require more intensive targeted approaches.
