Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The hypothesis is that the more exercise a child does, the more benefit he or she will gain in reducing the risk of diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases.
An ancillary study examined effects on cognition and achievement.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
Children were not provided with an after-school exercise intervention. They were free to do their usual activities. Families were offered a monthly healthy lifestyle class.
No interventions assigned to this group
Low Dose
This group was assigned to receive a 20 min/day aerobic exercise program offered 5 days/week after school. Families were offered a monthly healthy lifestyle class.
Aerobic exercise program
Vigorous intermittent physical activity in group format conducted in research gymnasium after school by research staff. Heart rate monitors documented each child's average heart rate on a daily basis. Small incentives were offered for achieving goal of \>150 bpm average HR each day and attending at least 80% of sessions (4 days/week).
High dose
This group was assigned to receive a 40 min/day aerobic exercise program offered 5 days/week after school. Families were offered a monthly healthy lifestyle class.
