[Hygienic rationale for diagnosis and correction of excessive body weight in schoolchildren with physical training]. 1993

N A Malova, and L A Simonova, and G V Fetisov

The results have shown that schoolchildren with moderate body mass (M +/- 0.3 sigma) have the highest physical capacity for work (PWC 170/kg) and schoolchildren with body mass from M + 0.3 to M + 1 sigma show a decrease by 20% and with an excessive body mass M + 1.75 sigma by more, about 40%. Bearing in mind this rough drop of capacity to work and the significant aggravation of functional state with an excessive body mass M +/- 1 sigma we consider that limitation of body mass standard by limits M +/- 0.67 sigma is advisable. The studies showed the high efficiency of exercises of cyclic nature (swimming, running, skiing, bicycle) with a view to correcting disorders due to obesity.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries

D009765	Obesity	A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
