Resumo: | Lifestyle changes are an important factor in the management and prevention of childhood obesity. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of an exercise program (based on recreational activities) and nutritional counseling on body composition and physical fitness test performance in obese children. Forty-four children aged 8 to 11 years were divided into two gender- and age-matched groups, intervention (n = 22) and control (n = 22). Several parameters were measured before and after 12 weeks of participation in the program: weight, height, skinfold thickness (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal and medial calf), circumferences (abdominal, arm, hip and calf) and the abdominal flexion and handgrip flexibility tests. The control group did not take part in the intervention. Thirty-two patients completed the study (16 in each group). The intervention group showed significant reductions in body mass index, triceps, subscapular and abdominal skinfold thickness, arm girth and sum of trunk skinfolds. There was a significant increase in right grip strength and abdominal strength. The control group showed a significant increase in body mass, waist circumference, subscapular and calf skinfold thickness, sum of trunk skinfolds, sum of limb skinfolds and arm and calf perimeters, as well as reduction in right hand grip strength. We conclude that the program was effective in reducing body fat and increasing physical fitness in children. |

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os efeitos de um programa de exercício físico baseado em atividades lúdicas e orientação nutricional na composição corporal e no desempenho em testes de aptidão física de crianças obesas. Fizeram parte do estudo 44 crianças com idades entre 8 e 11 anos divididas em dois grupos: grupo intervenção (n=22) e grupo controle (n=22) pareados por sexo e idade. Mensuraram-se antes e após 12 semanas do programa: massa corporal, estatura, dobras cutâneas (bíceps, tríceps, subescapular, supra-ilíaca, abdominal e de panturrilha medial), perímetros (abdominal, de braço, de panturrilha e de quadril) e desempenho em testes de flexibilidade, flexão abdominal e preensão manual. O grupo controle não participou da intervenção. Trinta e duas crianças completaram o estudo (16 em cada grupo). O grupo intervenção apresentou redução significativa do índice de massa corporal, das dobras cutâneas do tríceps, subescapular, abdominal, do perímetro do braço e da soma das dobras do tronco. Houve aumento significativo da força de preensão manual direita e abdominal. O grupo controle apresentou aumento significativo da massa corporal, do perímetro abdominal, da dobra cutânea subescapular, da panturrilha, da soma das dobras do tronco, da soma das dobras dos membros e dos perímetros do braço e da panturrilha medial, e redução no desempenho de força de preensão manual direita. Pode-se concluir que o programa foi efetivo em reduzir a quantidade de gordura corporal e aumentar os níveis de aptidão física das crianças.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
