A systematic review of controlled trials of interventions to prevent childhood obesity and overweight: A realistic synthesis of the evidence

By using a novel approach to synthesizing trials, a decisive role for the 'compulsory' provision of aerobic physical activity has been demonstrated and further research is required to identify how such activity can be sustained and transformed into a personally chosen behaviour by children and over the life course.

Abstract

By using a novel approach to synthesizing trials, a decisive role for the 'compulsory' provision of aerobic physical activity has been demonstrated. Further research is required to identify how such activity can be sustained and transformed into a personally chosen behaviour by children and over the life course.
