Abstract
Overweight or obesity is currently one of the most important problems of the current population. Alongside a range of health problems associated with increased body mass (BM), overweight or obesity is an important limiting factor for realization of regular physical exercise.
The study goal was to assess the effect of movement intervention in children differing in body mass Study was carried out in 94 children with normal BM (age12.4 +- 2.2 years), 68 overweight children (age 12.1 +- 2.0 years) and 41 obese children (age 12.7 +- 2.6 years). Body composition was determined by bioimpedance using prediction equations that are valid for the Czech child population.
Weekly movement program for children with normal body mass had the energy intensity of 1360 kcal (5685 kJ) to 2620 kcal (10952kJ) (mean 1980 +- 310 kcal - 8276 +- 1296 kJ) in children with overweight 1650 kcal (6897 kJ) to 2310 kcal (9656 kJ) (mean1920 +- 230 kcal - 8026 +- 960 kJ) and obese children, then 1940kcal (8109 kJ) to 2550 kcal (9045 kJ) (mean 2260 +- 290 kcal-9447 +- 1212 kJ). In children differing in weight are in the same subjects changes in somatic and functional parameters like a result of completed impairments substantively and statistically significant.
On the contrary, differences in changes in relative terms are insignificant. We may conclude that a similar intervention movement program invokes the similar changes in body composition and in both motor and functional performance in children differing in body mass.
