U.S., Sept. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07847645) titled 'Feasibility of a Healthy Lifestyle Program (Athletes for Life) in Mexicali, Baja California' on Sept. 17.
Brief Summary: Childhood obesity affects 36.6% of children in Mexico and nearly 50% in Baja California. Traditional weight-centered interventions yield modest and unsustainable results. In contrast, improving cardiorespiratory fitness provides broad health benefits independently of weight loss. This quasi-experimental study assesses the feasibility and viability of Athletes for Life (AFL)-a community- and family-based behavioral program for parent-child dyads in Mexicali-comparing its overall impact against a control group.
