Study Summary
The long-term goal is to develop effective, evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent and treat childhood obesity and related co-morbidities. The short-term goal, and the purpose of this application, is to quantify appetite and neural mechanisms of food reward in overweight/obese (OW/OB) sedentary youth and to quantify changes following the implementation of a physical activity intervention. The central hypothesis is that appetite becomes dysregulated at low levels of physical activity via neural reward pathways, and appetite control will improve following a long-term exercise intervention. The investigators consider this project a pilot study designed to generate data to be used for future external funding opportunities, demonstrate collaboration between researchers, and test the feasibility of the protocols.
Primary Outcome
To assess the effectiveness of a physical activity intervention on eating behavior in adolescents; OW/OB inactive adolescents will be randomly assigned to a 3-month exercise intervention (Exercise +Newsletter), or a control condition (Newsletter). Those exposed to the exercise intervention will have greater improvements (compared to control group) in appetite (subjective self-reported hunger responses).
