This study investigated whether clothing can be perceived as a form of encouragement for success in a weight management exercise program. A small (n = 30) sample of children and parents, enrolled in a weight-management exercise program, responded to a survey instrument that included questions regarding fit and comfort of the clothing children wore during an exercise program. Findings suggest that there is a need for better fitting, more comfortable exercise clothing for obese and overweight children and that if obese and overweight children are provided with well-fitting clothing for use in weight-management exercise programs, they will be motivated to increase participation from a social and psychological perspective. This could have significant impact on the motivation of children to exercise and lose weight. (Contains 1 table.)
