Brief Summary

Due to the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity and overweight, health problems may begin to appear at an early age. The aim of this study is to examine physical activity level, core performance, anthropometric measurements and peak expiratory flow in overweight and obese adolescents compared to normal weight adolescents.

Conditions

Overweight and Obesity

Keywords

peak expiratory flow; core muscle strength; physical activity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)

  Peak expiratory flow will be measured with a peak expiratory flow meter. The measurement is taken while the person is standing. After taking a deep breath, exhale as hard and as fast as you can. 3 measurements will be made and the best value will be recorded as peak expiratory flow-PEF (L/min).

Study Arms (3)

Overweight adolescents

This group will consist of 20 overweight adolescents (Body mass index (BMI) percentile value is 85.-95)

Obese adolescents

This group will consist of 20 obese adolescents (BMI percentile value is above the 95th)

normal weight

This group will consist of 20 normal-weight adolescents (BMI percentile value is 5th-85th.)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 10 Years - 13 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

Study Population

The study will consist of 60 volunteer adolescents who are obese, overweight and normal weight studying in the 5th, 6th and 7th grades of secondary school.

You may qualify if:

• BMI percentile value is 85.-95. between and above the 95th,
• Do not have any chronic disease,
• Do not have orthopedic problems that would prevent them from participating in the study,
• Secondary school students who are willing to participate in the study and whose parents' consent has been obtained will be included.
• BMI percentile value is 5th-85th. between,
• Do not have any chronic disease,
• Having no orthopedic and neurological problems that would prevent them from participating in the study,
• Secondary school students who are willing to participate in the study and whose parents' consent has been obtained will be included.

You may not qualify if:

• BMI percentile value below the 5th,
• With chronic cardiac and pulmonary disease,
• Having a diagnosis of neurological or other disease affecting cognitive functions,
• Individuals receiving medical treatment that will affect attention and concentration will not be included.
