Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
Five-month program at two centers for the treatment of overweight children.
Control
Five-month interdisciplinary program, including: twice a week one-hour group exercise activity sessions, 3-5 group meetings with a dietician, 12-13 parent sessions with a social worker, and a healthy cooking workshop, each child will take part in individual sessions including: two appointments with a pediatrician, three sessions with a dietician and two sessions with a physical therapist serving as a consultant for physical activity.
Exergame activity_EXG
Adding an exergame activity application to the regimen at a center for the treatment of overweight children.
Exergame activity_EXG
In addition to the treatment given to the control group (as described above), the EXG group will obtain home access to the app "Just Dance Now" and part of a weekly exercise session will include a group activity with the app.
Application activity
The application - "Just Dance Now" will be downloaded to the cellular phone of the child or parent. Exercise using the app will be used by cell phone connection to the child's home computer and as part of exercise group activity.
