Investigated the effects of exercise programs on changes in body mass, fat-free mass, and body fat in obese children and adolescents.

The most favorable body alterations occurred with low- intensity, long-duration exercise; aerobic exercise plus high- repetition resistance training; and exercise plus behavior modification. (SM)
