Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess exercise performance in 20 healthy children 10-19 years of age with a body mass index greater than 85th percentile and to evaluate the effect of dietary and exercise intervention over 12 weeks.

Detailed description

Our hypothesis is that the vascular health in these children will improve at the end of intervention. The results of this study will help us in our long-term objective of improving vascular health of children with congenital/acquired heart disease, a group particularly at risk for premature atherosclerosis.
