Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
To identify these alterations and risk factors, the investigators have established a cohort of 177 healthy obese and lean control children, age ranging from 6y to 18y, for evaluation of cardiovascular and metabolic parameters, as well as quantification of biomarkers of obesity and inflammation. Follow-up analyses are planned after 2 years (completed) and additionally after 5, 7 and 9 years.
In addition, the investigators will assess the effects of increased physical activity and exercise on cardiovascular function.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Lean children
n=100 (anticipated), n=70 currently Age: 6-25 years BMI-SDS: -1.88 to +1.23 , currently -0.25±0.77; Height-SDS: \> - 2 SDS, currently 0.03±1.07;
No interventions assigned to this group
Obese children
n=106 Age: 6-25 years BMI-SDS: \>1.23 , currently 2.41±0.52; Height-SDS: \> - 2 SDS, currently 0.80±1.18;
No interventions assigned to this group
Obese Exercise Group
Obese children will engage in increased physical activity (one to two lessons per week) at 40-60 and 60-80% of maximal exercise capacity (n=50 each anticipated). Within the frame of the study we will assess the effect of the exercise on cardiovascular outcomes.
No interventions assigned to this group
Classical Lifestyle Intervention
Obese children will receive a classical lifestyle intervention, including dietary, activity and psychosocial counselling (n=50 anticipated). Within the frame of the study we will assess the effect of the exercise on cardiovascular outcomes.
No interventions assigned to this group
