- Multi-Disciplinary and Uncompetitive Intervention in Public Health for the Treatment of Sedentary and Overweight or Obese Children: Nereu Programme Noemí Serra-Paya Assumpta Ensenyat Solé Alfonso Blanco Nespereira Salud pu obesity children Behaviour sedentary The aim was to evaluate if the Nereu Programme would favourably impact on physical activity (PA), sedentary be- haviour and adiposity in low active overweight and obese children as a public health intervention tool for the mana- gement of children’s obesity. The design was a longitudinal prospective study with post-test at 9 months, consisted of PA for children with behavioural components, family be- havioural sessions for parents and behaviour strategies for both. Eighty-six (10.65 ± 2 years) low active and overweight or obese children according the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) Criteria and their parents participated. PA, sedentary behaviours and adiposity were collected at baseli- ne and 9 months after the intervention. The children repor- ted more time (p < 0.01) on moderate (2.4 ± 5.3 h·week -1 ) and high (3.1 ± 1.62 h · week -1 ) intensity PA and less time (p < 0.001) on sedentary activities (5.4 ± 6.3 h · week -1 ). BMI z-score was reduced by 0.2 ± 0.29 units (p < 0.001). These results may induce a positive change in PA, seden- tary behaviours and BMI z-score in low active overweight and obese children. This intervention could be an interes- ting public health intervention tool for the management of children’s obesity. However, future studies should clarify these associations. 2014 artículo científico 1577-4015 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=551656904001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5516 Apunts Educación Física y Deportes application/pdf Institut Nacional d'Educació Física de Catalunya Apunts Educación Física y Deportes (España) Num.117
