“…Although in their study of 11-to 16-year-old Canadian adolescents Janssen et al found no clear association between dietary habits (food frequency) and overweight 40 , we found an association between the amount of food and BMI. Estonian overweight children consumed more milk (g day 21 ) and tended to consume more meat, and Swedish overweight adolescents tended to consume more milk products.…”

Objectives: To determine the differences in macronutrient and food group contribution to total food and energy intakes between Estonian and Swedish under-, normal-and overweight schoolchildren, and to estimate the association between diet and body mass index (BMI). Design: Cross-sectional comparison between Estonian and Swedish children and adolescents of different BMI groups. Setting: Twenty-five schools from one region in Estonia and 42 in two regions of central Sweden.

“…In addition, this research also found that middle school students with less exercise had a higher detection rate of obesity. The reason might be that obese middle school students had a lower awareness of physical exercise (13).…”

“…In Canada, 15% of adolescents between 11-and 16-years old are overweight and 4.6% are obese. The relation between inadequate physical activity level and long TV watching time of overweight and obese adolescents is higher than that of adolescents with a normal weight (13). The aforementioned researches concern the influence of reduced physical activities on obesity.…”

Objective: To investigate the state of middle school students' obesity in Xiangtan, China and to study the influence of Internet addiction on obesity. Subjects: 1,150 junior and senior middle school students in Xiangtan, China. Design and Methods: The research subjects were select randomly for the study. The height and body weight of human body were measured and the obesity state was judged according to BMI value and the Working Group on Obesity in China (WGOC) standard. The questionnaire for the survey of middle school students' basic situation was designed and a survey of the respondents' personal information and the contributory factors to obesity was conducted. The Middle School Students' Internet Addiction Diagnosis Scale was adopted for measuring and judging the Internet addiction of the research subjects. Results: (1) The total detection rate of obesity was 23.57%. (2) The overall detection rate of Internet addiction was 21.23%. (3) The detection rate of obesity in middle school students with Internet addiction (32.92%) was significantly higher than that without Internet addiction (21.06%). Logistic regression showed that Internet addiction was an independent risk factor of obesity. Conclusion: Internet addiction is related to obesity of middle school students.

“…In addition to the weekly frequency, in order to achieve substantive benefits, physical activity must be of at least moderate intensity, although activities of a vigorous intensity can provide an even greater benefit (Janssen, Katzmarzyk, Boyce et al, 2004). Activities based on aerobic exercise have a greater benefit to the general health of children, other than bone health which requires higher-impact physical activities (Veugelers, & Fitzgerald, 2005).…”

Family physical activity can have beneficial effects on the physical condition of parents and children. Method: Uncontrolled longitudinal intervention study. 152 children aged 3 to 10 years (79 Boys: 5.60 ± 2.20 yr., 73 Girls: 6.90 ± 2.20 yr.) and 112 parents aged 30 to 40 years (36 Parents: 41.87 ± 4.45 yr.; 76 Mothers: 40.01 ± 2.96 yr.). They carried out 2 hours of joint activity on a weekly basis from October to June. Physical fitness was assessed by ALPHA-Fitness and PRE-FIT batteries at the beginning and end of the intervention. A descriptive analysis and a t-student for paired variables were performed. Results: The 3-6-year-old girls improved the Standing long jump (33.50 ± 10.61 vs 78.11 ± 8.64 cm) * and the 20 m shuttle run test (7.00 ± 2, 83 vs. 22.50 ± 0.71) *, (*p <0.05). Girls over 6 years of age decreased in Handgrip strength and 4x10 m shuttle run test (15.84 ± 1.21 vs 16.95 ± 83) * but improved in the 20 m shuttle run test (13.97 ± 5.48 vs 23.09 ± 7.49) *, (*p <0.05). The parents improved their BMI (25.04 ± 2.60 vs 24.19 ± 1.50)*, the right Handgrip strength (37.02 ± 10.25 vs 41.17 ± 9.57 kg)*, the Standing long jump (156.17 ± 31.48 vs 181.00 ± 28.82 cm)*, 4x10 m shuttle run test (12.95 ± 1.30 vs 12.11 ± 1.09 s)* in the 20 m shuttle run test (37.90 ± 20.43 vs 54.20 ± 9.51 turns)*, (* p <0.05). Conclusion: A physical exercise based on joint family activity produces improvements in some variables related to the physical condition of the girls and in the parents. Implication: Parents should exercise and plan family sports activities if they want their child to be active.
