摘要

Background

The aim of this study was to present the effects of a long-duration Physical Literacy intervention on the health of overweight and obese adolescents.

Methods

CAPACITES 64 was a quasi-experimental study of 14 overweight and obese adolescents. The intervention was conducted for 15 months, with two measurement times.

Results

The intervention significantly increased the overall Physical Literacy score (Δ =  + 7.6 points; p < 0.05). The %Skeletal Muscle Mass (Δ =  + 3.5%; p < 0.05) and the VO2peak (Δ =  + 3.4 ml.min.kg−1; p < 0.05) increase significantly, also. Decreases in Z-score Body Mass Index (Δ = -0.5; p < 0.05) and %Body Fat (Δ = -6.1; p < 0.05) were observed. No significant effect on Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity is identified (Δ = -0.2 min.day−1; p = 0.09).

Conclusions

This study revealed that a long-duration Physical Literacy intervention had a positive effect on health indicators and prevented a decrease in the level of physical activity in overweight and obese adolescents.
