This paper describes the study protocol used in the Feeding Exercise Clinical Trial in Adolescents in the region of Larissa in Greece, a randomized controlled clinical trial, among overweight/obese adolescents. The main aim of the study was to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of 2 different clinical interventions among 12 to 18-year-old overweight and obese adolescents. The first group participated in an exercise program and the second group in a combined dietary and exercise program. The third group was the control group. The study was conducted between 2014 and 2015. All adolescents aged 12 to 18 years old from public schools of Larisa and also their parents asked to participate. The effects of the intervention program will be analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance or the Friedman test. Changes in lifestyle behaviors from the baseline to the end of the intervention will be assessed using a chi-square test for categorical variables. A Pearson or a Spearman correlation coefficient and a linear regression analysis will be performed to explore any associations between quantitative variables. The following parameters were measured among adolescents: height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic pressure, pulse rate, dietary and exercise habits of the adolescents and their parents. This is the first clinical trial in Greece investigating the impact of clinical interventions on obesity among adolescents. It is expected that the results will provide useful insights into the effectiveness of clinical interventions among overweight and obese adolescents in Greece.
本文描述了在希腊拉里萨地区针对青少年的喂养运动临床试验中所使用的研究方案，这是一项针对超重/肥胖青少年的随机对照临床试验。该研究的主要目的是比较评估两种不同临床干预措施对12至18岁超重和肥胖青少年的有效性。第一组参与了一个运动项目，第二组参与了饮食与运动相结合的项目。第三组为对照组。该研究于2014年至2015年进行。来自拉里萨公立学校的所有12至18岁青少年及其父母均被邀请参与。干预项目的效果将通过重复测量方差分析或弗里德曼检验进行分析。从基线到干预结束时生活方式行为的变化将使用卡方检验来评估分类变量。将进行皮尔逊或斯皮尔曼相关系数以及线性回归分析，以探索定量变量之间的任何关联。在青少年中测量了以下参数：身高、体重、体重指数、腰围、收缩压和舒张压、脉搏率、青少年及其父母的饮食和运动习惯。这是希腊第一项调查临床干预对青少年肥胖影响的临床试验。预计研究结果将为希腊超重和肥胖青少年临床干预的有效性提供有用的见解。
