Effects of Physical Training and Nutrition Education on Adipocytokines in Severely Obese Teenagers (OBAPA)

Obesity is now becoming significantly prevalent of an environment characterized by easily available calorics foods combined with sedentary lifestyles. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that obesity is associated with metabolic complications such as disturbed adipocytokines, hormones secreted by adipose tissue. Given these observations, the purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a lifestyle intervention focused on various physical activities and nutrition education on adipocytokines hormones, in severely obese teenagers.
