详细描述
80 children aged 5-13, BMI≥85%, will be recruited to the five-month program, at two centers for the treatment of overweight children. The intervention group will use the app "Just Dance Now" and part of a weekly exercise session will be dedicated to a group app activity. The control group will be exposed to the usual program without the app.
Measurements of BMI, blood sugar and lipid profiles, as well as physical examination, and questionnaires regarding attitude and response to physical activity will be performed at the beginning of the program, the end and 3 months after completion of the intervention. Participation in the sessions will be documented and home activity recorded using a weekly log. ANOVA two-way repeated measures will be used to assess improvements in outcome measures.
