Exercise for Obese Youth

Abstract: Despite evidence to the contrary, exercise interventions for obese youth target weight loss as a means for improving health. Using Exercise is Medicine® as a framework, we present a conceptual model for the beneficial effects of exercise independent of weight loss in obese youth and highlight novel biomarkers of cardiometabolic health that could prove useful as interventional targets for this population.

“…In support of this notion, the observed effect sizes for changes in generic QoL scores in our study were 0.51 at 12-weeks and 0.19 at 12-month, considerably smaller than the observed effect sizes for weight-specific QoL (0.97 and 0.73). As interventions for youth with obesity move beyond a singular focus on weight loss to improving cardiometabolic and psychosocial health outcomes, the field may benefit from a broader definition of clinical significance ( 41 ).…”

“…36 Correspondingly, increasing physical activity could yield many important improvements in cardiometabolic health without the necessity for further weight loss. 37 Therefore, by reducing musculoskeletal pain, bariatric surgery may make many activities of daily life less burdensome for youth with severe obesity and could contribute to reducing factors which effect long-term health risks.…”

“…Our curriculum emphasizes specific changes in behaviors and proximal diabetes outcomes in which participants are provided their OGTT results during intervention sessions to anchor the conversation around diabetes and health . This approach acknowledges that reductions in T2D risk factors among youths may occur in the absence of weight loss, which may be a particularly relevant strategy when tailoring diabetes prevention efforts for minority populations . Furthermore, stabilizing or maintaining weight and BMI among youths with obesity may be considered a clinically meaningful outcome …”
