Resumo: Introduction: Changes in dietary and lifestyle patterns worldwide have led to an increased prevalence of childhood obesity, becoming imperative to explore effective strategies to both prevent and treat this disease. Objectives: This non-randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of a short-term nutrition education intervention (4 hours, distributed over 5 days) on improving the dietary knowledge, diet quality and Body Mass Index-for-age z-score of 26 school-age boys (6 to 11 years old) attending a holiday sports camp. Methodology: Both intervention (n=26) and control (n=39) groups were evaluated immediately before and 6 weeks after the intervention (Body Mass Index and KIDMED were evaluated for both groups; while nutrition knowledge questionnaire was only for intervention group). Results: In the intervention group, a significant decrease was observed in Body Mass Index z-score (p Conclusions: Holiday sports camps with nutrition education interventions can be a promising strategy to combat childhood obesity.
