School-based interventions can reach children and adolescents and aid in reducing the prevalence of childhood obesity. A physical education class that engaged middle school students in a daily 1-mile walk or run and other team sports was developed in a rural school in southwestern Oklahoma with a large American Indian population. Body mass index z scores decreased among boys and were stable among girls in the intervention group compared with students who did not participate in the intervention. A daily required walk or run may help to establish a physical activity habit with all of its associated benefits.
以学校为基础的干预措施可以覆盖儿童和青少年,并有助于降低儿童肥胖的患病率。在俄克拉何马州西南部的一所农村学校开展了一项体育课活动,让中学生每天进行1英里的步行或跑步以及其他团队运动,该校有大量美国印第安人口。与未参与干预的学生相比,干预组男生的体重指数z评分有所下降,女生则保持稳定。每天规定的步行或跑步可能有助于养成体育活动习惯及其带来的所有相关益处。
