The objective of the study is to quantify the relationship between physical activity, metabolic function, and appetite in adolescents. To do this we will test our working hypothesis that high levels of regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), as opposed to body weight status, results in a metabolic phenotype consisting of enhanced metabolic function and proper regulation of appetite. We will randomly assigning sedentary overweight/obese adolescents (N=44) to either a control or structured-exercise group for three months.
