Summary

The primary purpose of the BOUNCE study is to assess the effectiveness of a four-week family-based healthy lifestyle summer program in reducing adiposity indicators in Hispanic and African American girls and boys (ages 9-14 years old).

Detailed description

The secondary aims of this study are to examine post-intervention changes in eating patterns, body image disturbances, unhealthy weight control practices, and fitness levels. The investigators hypothesize that at the post-BOUNCE summer intervention, children will exhibit significant decreases in adiposity indicators (percent body fat and waist circumference), sweetened drinks and fried foods consumption, and an increase in physical fitness (aerobic capacity and minutes of moderated-vigorous physical activity) when compared to their baseline values after controlling for demographic, acculturation characteristics.
