Abstract

BACKGROUND: The continuing rise in overweight and obesity among children and adolescents portends a life-course public-health crisis. Although evidence has been accumulating that exercise interventions improve health in those with overweight or obesity, few studies have integrated multidimensional health outcomes within a unified analytical framework. To systematically evaluate the effects of exercise interventions on multidimensional health outcomes-including anthropometric, cardiometabolic, cardiorespiratory, and mental health indicators-among children and adolescents with overweight or obesity, and to explore implications for global obesity prevention and control.
