In conclusion , overweight and obese youth can improve physical fitness across a variety of test measures .
When fitness improves , beneficial health effects are observed in some , but not all chronic disease risk factors
A systematic review of literature was conducted to examine the association between changes in health-related fitness ( e.g. aerobic capacity and muscular strength /endurance ) and chronic disease risk factors in overweight and /or obese youth .
Physical training of 9- to 10-year-old children with obesity to lactate threshold intensity.
The purpose of this study was to apply the lactate threshold concept to develop a more evidence -informed exercise program for obese children . 60 obese children ( 26 girls and 34 boys , age : 9 - 10 years , BMI : 25.4 + /- 2.2kg/m(2 ) ) were recruited and half of them were r and omly selected to be trained for eight weeks with a controlled exercise intensity at lactate threshold . The trained children achieved significant improvements on their body composition and functional capacity compared with the control group . The findings suggested that the training program with intensity at lactate threshold  is effective and safe for 9 - 10 year old children with obesity
In conclusion , overweight and obese youth can improve physical fitness across a variety of test measures .
