To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of an after-school team sports program for reducing weight gain in low-income overweight children.
Six-month, 2-arm, parallel-group, pilot randomized controlled trial.
Low-income, racial/ethnic minority community.
Twenty-one children in grades 4 and 5 with a body mass index at or above the 85th percentile.
The treatment intervention consisted of an after-school soccer program. The "active placebo" control intervention consisted of an after-school health education program.
Implementation, acceptability, body mass index, physical activity measured using accelerometers, reported television and other screen time, self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and weight concerns.
All 21 children completed the study. Compared with children receiving health education, children in the soccer group had significant decreases in body mass index z scores at 3 and 6 months and significant increases in total daily, moderate, and vigorous physical activity at 3 months.
An after-school team soccer program for overweight children can be a feasible, acceptable, and efficacious intervention for weight control.
评估一项课外团队运动项目在低收入超重儿童中减轻体重增加的可行性、可接受性和有效性。
为期六个月的双臂平行组试点随机对照试验。
低收入种族/少数民族社区。
21名四、五年级学生，体重指数处于或高于第85百分位。
治疗性干预包括一项课外足球项目。“积极安慰剂”对照干预包括一项课外健康教育项目。
实施情况、可接受性、体重指数、使用加速度计测量的身体活动、报告的看电视及其他屏幕时间、自尊、抑郁症状和体重问题。
所有21名儿童均完成了研究。与接受健康教育的儿童相比，足球组儿童在3个月和6个月时体重指数z评分显著降低，在3个月时每日总身体活动、中度和剧烈身体活动显著增加。
针对超重儿童的课外团队足球项目可能是一种可行、可接受且有效的体重控制干预措施。
