A Comparison of Activities of Daily Living, Physical Fitness and Quality of Life in Obese and Healthy Adolescents

It is known that activities of daily living, physical fitness, exercise capacity and quality of life are affected by the obesity. It is aimed to determine the effects obesity on daily living activities, physical fitness, exercise capacity and quality of life in obese adolescents compared to healthy subjects in this study. The relationship between these parameters and the activities of daily living which are less studied in obese adolescents will be evaluated.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy; Obesity, Childhood
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: Exercise Capacity

Detailed Description

Obesity among children, adolescents and adults has emerged as one of the most serious public health problems in the 21st century. There has been a significant decrease in the exercise capacity, physical fitness and activities of daily living of children and adolescents with the increase in the prevalence of obesity over the last decade.
