520 $a Obesity has emerged as a new chronic disease in paediatric practice in Hong Kong in the past two decades. This dissertation consists of the results of two pilot studies and one randomized controlled study. Energy metabolism, physical activity pattern, and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and insulin resistance in obese children were investigated, and the effectiveness of strength training in the management of childhood obesity was evaluated systematically.
520 $a In the first pilot study, we compared energy expenditure, energy intake and physical activity level in obese and non-obese children. Eighteen obese and 18 non-obese children participated in the study. Basal metabolic rate after adjustment for fat-free mass and fat mass was similar in obese and non-obese children. Dietary record showed that energy intake was similar in obese and non-obese children. Obese children were less physically active than non-obese children.
520 $a In the second pilot study, a total of 271 children (129 of them were obese children) were recruited for the assessment of their fasting plasma levels of lipids, glucose and insulin. Information about their gestational age, birth weight, feeding mode during infancy and family history of diabetes mellitus amongst first-degree relatives were obtained from their parents. High prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome with clustering of multiple risk factors including insulin resistance in overweight/obese preadolescent children was observed. A positive family history of diabetes, a high birth weight and non-breast feeding were associated with increased risk of childhood obesity.
520 $a In the randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the effectiveness of a short-term and a longer-term strength training exercise programme in the management of childhood obesity. In the short-term program, 82 children were randomised to undergo a dietary intervention program with or without strength exercise training for 6 weeks. After that, all these children continued a further 26-week longer-term dietary intervention program, 22 of the 41 children who were in the training group continued to receive strength training. After the short term intervention program, significant improvement in plasma lipoprotein profile, endothelial function, and a reduction in dietary fat intake were observed. For the physical self-concept, all children were perceived to have more strength after participating in the 6-week intervention program. Additional benefits—improved lean body mass and bone mineral content, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and greater improvement in endothelial function—were observed in those children who had received exercise training. They also had better confidence in coordination and endurance after participating in the exercise program.
520 $a In the longer-term program, children who continued to receive strength exercise training had additional benefits in their greater increase in lean mass and their significant improvement in endothelial function, peak oxygen consumption level, muscle power and muscle endurance. Children who ceased to have regular exercise training resulted in greater increase in percent body fat mass.
