Physical activity has been highlighted internationally as a beneficial intervention for weight control and the improvement of physical and mental health. This review highlights findings from recent literature to guide office-based promotion of physical activity for obesity treatment and prevention.
Children worldwide participate in far less than the current physical activity recommendations. Family-based activity provides children with positive role modeling as well as motivational support for maintaining an active lifestyle. The integration of physical activity into daily life can be an effective alternative to sports and structured exercise programs. Decreasing sedentary behaviors is also a positive contribution, although its link to physical activity levels is still unclear. Some families may see neighborhood safety and access to recreational facilities as barriers to keeping their children physically active.
Research in the field of pediatric obesity and overweight treatment and prevention continues to find challenges and solutions. Promotion of physical activity by the pediatric provider is demonstrated by current evidence to be a positive intervention against this global problem.
体育活动在国际上已被视为一种有益的干预措施，可用于控制体重以及改善身心健康。本综述着重介绍近期文献中的研究结果，以指导在诊所环境中推广体育活动来治疗和预防肥胖症。
全球儿童参与的体育活动远低于当前的建议水平。以家庭为基础的活动为儿童提供了积极的榜样，以及维持积极生活方式的动力支持。将体育活动融入日常生活可以成为体育和结构化锻炼计划的有效替代方案。减少久坐行为也是一项积极贡献，尽管其与体育活动水平的联系仍不明确。一些家庭可能认为社区安全和娱乐设施的可及性是阻碍孩子保持体育活动的因素。
儿科肥胖和超重治疗与预防领域的研究不断发现挑战与解决方案。目前的证据表明，儿科医疗服务提供者推广体育活动是应对这一全球性问题的积极干预措施。
