Based on decades of scientific research and clinical experience,
Safe and Effective Exercise for Overweight Youth provides a
scientifically supported and clinically relevant source of
information that clinical health care providers, educators, public
health, and fitness professionals may use to promote physical
activity in overweight and obese youth of all ages, including those
with significant obesity and chronic health conditions, such as
hypertension, asthma, and type 2 diabetes. It presents a best
practices model for implementing clinical- and recreational-based
physical activity interventions. The first five chapters offer an
overview of the existing scientific literature supporting
individualized, tailored exercise prescriptions for overweight and
obese children with and without comorbidities. They also contain
exercise instructions, illustrations, and sample lesson plans to
improve cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular strength, power and
endurance, and muscular flexibility. This information provides the
basis for the recommendations provided in the subsequent chapters,
which include specific guidelines for prescribing exercise to
overweight children along with verbal cues or "talking points,"
clinical reminders, and handouts to assist health care providers.
The text provides a 40-week exercise curriculum with lesson plans,
discusses the importance of regular medical and self-monitoring,
and offers easy tools and techniques for health care providers to
track a child's progress. Chapters also supply detailed clinical
and field protocols to aid in measuring health and fitness
outcomes, describe realistic expectations, and present the U.S.
recommendations for promoting physical activity and fitness in
youth. The final chapter summarizes current studies to support
future research on physical activity for the prevention and
management of pediatric obesity.
