The impact of regular exercise on overweight metabolic syndrome in school-aged children
A literature review
Keywords:
Paediatric Obesity (OB), Overweight (OW), Physical activity (PA), sedentary lifestyleAbstract
To review studies that can examine whether there is any effect of physical activity on obesity. Obesity is defined as an energy deficit caused by lifestyle behaviour such as poor food habits & insufficient physical activity time, both of which are significantly linked to obesity development. Journal articles published between 2011-2021 were secured by searching computerized bibliographical databases. High evidence studies such as systemic reviews and cross-sectional studies were included. A total of 30 studies were selected. After analysing the studies, it was seen that: Physical activity has been shown to reduce obesity in children. Increased physical activity (reduced inactive behaviour) in combination with healthy eating appears to be more beneficial in lowering obesity than either a good diet or increased PA alone.
