The present study aimed at analyzing the efficacy of a 6-month football training program compared with a standard exercise program on health and fitness parameters in overweight children. The study design was a 6-month, two-arm, parallel-group randomized trial. Twenty-two overweight children were randomly assigned to two groups (age=10.8+/-1.2 years, height=1.56+/-0.08 m, weight= 65.1+/-11.4 kg). One group conducted a football training program, and the other group an established standard sports program. Both interventions took place three times per week from mid-May to mid-November. Before, after 3 months and after the training period, comprehensive testing was conducted: anthropometric characteristics, cycling ergometry, psychometric monitoring as well as several motor ability tests. Maximal performance capacity increased and submaximal heart rate during cycling ergometry decreased significantly. Several motor skills as well as self-esteem also improved considerably. Body composition and other psychometric variables remained nearly unchanged. No relevant differences were observed between both exercise programs. It can be concluded that a 6-month football training is as efficacious in improving the physical capacity, health-related fitness parameters and self-esteem of overweight children as a standard exercise program. These results provide further evidence that playing football has significant health effects.
本研究旨在分析为期 6 个月的足球训练计划与标准运动计划相比对超重儿童健康和体能参数的疗效。研究设计为 6 个月、双臂、平行组随机试验。22 名超重儿童被随机分配到两组（年龄=10.8±1.2 岁，身高=1.56±0.08 m，体重=65.1±11.4 kg）。一组进行足球训练计划，另一组进行既定的标准运动计划。这两种干预措施均于 5 月中旬至 11 月中旬每周进行三次。在训练前、3 个月后和训练结束后，进行了全面测试：人体测量特征、自行车测功计、心理监测以及多项运动能力测试。最大性能能力增加，自行车测功计的次最大心率降低。几项运动技能以及自尊也有了相当大的提高。身体成分和其他心理变量几乎没有变化。两种运动方案之间没有观察到明显差异。可以得出结论，为期 6 个月的足球训练与标准运动计划一样，能够有效提高超重儿童的身体能力、与健康相关的体能参数和自尊。这些结果进一步证明了踢足球对健康有重大影响。
