摘要：The aim was to evaluate if the Nereu Programme would favourably impact on physical activity (PA), sedentary be-haviour and adiposity in low active overweight and obese children as a public health intervention tool for the mana-gement of children’s obesity. The design was a longitudinal prospective study with post-test at 9 months, consisted of PA for children with behavioural components, family be-havioural sessions for parents and behaviour strategies for both.Eighty-six (10.65 ± 2 years) low active and overweight or obese children according the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) Criteria and their parents participated.PA, sedentary behaviours and adiposity were collected at baseli-ne and 9 months after the intervention.The children reported more time (p < 0.01) on moderate (2.4 ± 5.3 h·week-1) and high (3.1 ± 1.62 h · week-1) intensity PA and less time (p < 0.001) on sedentary activities (5.4 ± 6.3 h · week-1).BMI z-score was reduced by 0.2 ± 0.29 units (p < 0.001).These results may induce a positive change in PA, seden-tary behaviours and BMI z-score in low active overweight and obese children.This intervention could be an interesting public health intervention tool for the management of children’s obesity.However, future studies should clarify these associations.
