Brief Summary
Objective: This study aimed to characterize the food intake and energy expenditure of school cooks and to evaluate the anthropometric and metabolic changes that occurred after a low-volume home-based exercise program. Methods: A randomized clinical trial in the city of Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was conducted during the school year of 2007. The trial had a factorial design based on two different interventions: 1) nutritional counseling and 2) home-based exercise. The nutritional intervention was focused on decreasing the amount of sugar used in school meals by the cooks as well as decreasing their own sugar intake. The exercise program consisted of stretching and aerobic exercises that could be practiced at home, at least three times per week (40 minutes per session), with a low-to-moderate intensity.
