Exercise has little effect on childhood weight
Forcing young children to take regular exercise does little to prevent them from becoming obese, a new study suggests.
According to the findings of research carried out by Glasgow University, getting four-year-olds to engage in three extra 30 minute sessions of exercise a week had no effect on whether they were obese or not.
‘Despite rigorous implementation, we found no significant effect of the intervention on physical activity, sedentary behaviour or body mass index,’ concluded the researchers. ”
