Role of exercise intervention in improving body fat distribution and risk profile in children

Article Abstract:

Physical training in obese children has a favorable influence on percent of fat, insulin, triacylglycerol, and cardiac activity. Eighty-one obese children between the ages of 7 and 11 were studied. Amounts of visceral adipose tissue were associated with unfavorable levels of lipid risk factors, while fat mass was correlated with insulin levels and high blood pressure.

Visceral fat in prepubertal children: influence of obesity, anthropomerty, ethnicity, gender, diet, and growth

Article Abstract:

Visceral fat, or intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) is a stronger influence than dietary fat intake on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. IAAT has been found in children as young as 5. African American children have less IAAT than white children, and differences in IAAT between girls and boys become more apparent after adolescence.
