Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Do children/adolescents with obesity have a significant decrease in BMI (> 0.6 BMI-sds) after 3 months of intensive treatment compared to children/adolescents who received a standard treatment (increased physical activity and nutrition advice) ?	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Do children/adolescents with obesity have a significant beneficial effect after three months intensive treatment compared to children/adolescents who received a standard treatment (increased physical activity and nutrition advice) on sum of skinfolds, insulin sensitivity, metabolic syndrome, gastrointestinal hormones, cardiovascular fitness, and quality of life? 2. Will the effects of three months intensive treatment of children/adolescents with obesity be maintained after 12 and 24 months of follow-up? 3. Are intervention and control group homogeneous with regard to relevant genetic background? 4. Is parent education a predictive variable on the degree of obesity of children/adolescents?	—
