Brief summary: The New Moves study will evaluate the impact of a school based program for inactive high school girls who are overweight or at risk for being overweight due to low levels of physical activity. The primary study hypothesis is that girls in the intervention schools will significantly decrease their percent body fat as compared to girls in the control schools. Secondary research hypotheses include that girls in the intervention condition will significantly increase their physical activity levels and improve the quality of their dietary intake.

Detailed description: The purpose of the New Moves study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based all girls alternative to regular physical education class for inactive high school girls. New Moves uses a large-scale community randomized controlled study involving girls from six intervention schools and six control schools. The New Moves class includes physical activity, nutritional guidance, and social support within a supportive, non-competitive environment. In addition the program includes individual counseling sessions.

The primary research hypothesis is that girls in the intervention condition will significantly decrease their percent body fat as compared to girls in the control condition. Secondary research hypothesis to be tested are that girls in the intervention condition will significantly increase their level of physical activity and improve the quality of their dietary intake as compared to girls in the control condition. In addition a range of socioenvironmental, personal, and behavioral variables will be compared across conditions.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* High school girls
* Low levels of physical activity - defined as being in precontemplation, contemplation, or preparation stages of change for physical activity with activity levels at, or below, 30 minutes per day/three days per week outside of school physical education class
* Priority will be given to girls with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to the 75th percentile for age and gender

Exclusion Criteria:

* BMI less than the 25th percentile for age and gender
