Twenty-five overweight adolescents completed a summer weight loss day camp program on the Stanford University campus. All participants attended camp four days per week for four hours to learn and practice eating and exercise skills conducive to weight loss. Parents met weekly to discuss the program content and to explore their role in their adolescent's weight management. At posttreatment, reductions were achieved in weight, percent overweight, and skinfold, with greater changes observed for the eight-week group than for the four-week group. Improvements were also evident in participants' self-reported habits and knowledge of weight management concepts. Parent and participant assessment of the camp experience was very positive. The results of the summer weight loss day camp suggest that an intensive program of eating and exercise habit instruction, practice, and monitoring, which allows the participants to remain in the home setting, may provide benefits not found in other more traditional approaches to adolescent weight loss.
25名超重青少年参加了在斯坦福大学校园举办的暑期减肥日间营项目。所有参与者每周参加四天营地活动，每次四小时，学习并练习有助于减肥的饮食和运动技巧。家长们每周会面，讨论项目内容，并探讨他们在青少年体重管理中的作用。在治疗后，参与者的体重、超重百分比和皮褶厚度都有所下降，八周组的变化比四周组更明显。参与者自我报告的体重管理习惯和知识也有明显改善。家长和参与者对营地体验的评价非常积极。暑期减肥日间营的结果表明，一个强化的饮食和运动习惯指导、练习及监测项目，让参与者能够留在家庭环境中，可能会带来其他更传统的青少年减肥方法所没有的益处。
