Brief summary

This controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of a multicomponent program that includes structured personalized exercise prescription in children with obesity with a control group that will be enrolled in a multicomponent program without structured personalized exercise prescription. All children will be followed for a period of 6 months. The parameters that will be evaluated between groups are physical fitness, anthropometry, metabolic (glucose oral tolerance curve, lipids, HOMA-IR, ISI-MATSUDA), early cardiovascular damage, inflammatory biomarkers, anxiety and depression scores, and allelic variants related to physical fitness.

Detailed description

This controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of a multicomponent program that includes structured personalized exercise prescription in children with obesity (study group) with a control group that will be enrolled in a multicomponent program without structured personalized exercise prescription. All children will be followed for a period of 6 months. The parameters that will be evaluated between groups are physical fitness (measured by VO2max, ECG at rest, biomechanics and dynamometry), anthropometric measurements (weight height, BMI, plicometry, bioimpedance, metabolic (glucose oral tolerance curve, lipids, HOMA-IR, ISI-MATSUDA), early cardiovascular damage (carotid intima-media thickness, atherogenic dyslipidemia), inflammatory biomarkers (leptin, adiponectin, IL-17, IL-10, INF-gamma, IL-6, IL-12, y TNF-alpha), anxiety and depression scores evaluated with Child Depression Inventory (CID) and -Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH), and allelic variants related to physical fitness (ACTN, TRH2 y FTO).

Interventions

OTHERPersonalized structured exercise program

The type of exercise offered to patients in this arm is precisely designed for obese patients according to age and physical fitness parameters. Patients are monitored using a heart rate monitor to evaluate treatment adherence and compliance

OTHERNon personalized non-structured exercise program

The type of exercise is non-structured and patients' heart rate is not monitored. Patients receive exercise recommendations without any personalization according to their fitness parameters
