Psycho-Physiological Responses to a 4-Month High-Intensity Interval Training-Centered Multidisciplinary Weight-Loss Intervention in Adolescents with Obesity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the impact of 4 months of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT)-centered weightmanagement intervention on health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), health perception (HP) and physical selfperception (PSP) in adolescents with obesity.

Methods

Fifty-six adolescents with obesity (28 girls; mean body mass index [BMI], 35±4.89 kg/m²; z-BMI, 2.3±0.3; 11-17 years) followed a multidisciplinary weight-management intervention composed of nutritional counseling, HIIT program, and health-related therapeutic education. Anthropometric parameters, body composition (dual X-ray absorptiometry), and maximal aerobic capacities (maximal oxygen consumption [VO_2peak]) were assessed, and self-reported questionnaires were used to assess HR-QOL (36-ite
