Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To verify the effect of physical activity intervention on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight adolescents. It is expected to find an improvement in the cardiometabolic profile, with a decrease in glucose, lipid levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which will be verified by blood collection using the Dimension automated analyzer method (Siemens). The results will be observed from the difference between pre and post intervention indices with alpha level of 5%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analyze the impact of physical activity intervention on health behavior change. It is expected to find a significant increase in the number of steps/day through the use of the pedometer (Yamax, SW700), and changes in the different social cognitive constructs in the experimental group that will be assessed by questionnaire. The results will be observed from the difference between pre and post intervention with alpha level of 5%, by the number of steps / day for physical activity and the indexes for the social cognitive constructs. | — |
