Abstract
Aim: To determine the feasibility and effect of a real-word multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention (including group-based high intensity interval training, diet workshops and psychology session) on cardiorespiratory fitness, diet quality and self-concept in sedentary children and adolescents aged 9 to 15 years.
Methodology: Single-arm intervention trial
What is the clinical bottom line?
The 12-week Project GRIT pilot indicated promising results; the group-based multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention for children and adolescents in a non-institutional setting improved diet quality and self-concept in study completers. A lack of significant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness may have been impacted by declining attendance rates at exercise sessions across the program. Future practice and research should focus on providing sustainable multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions for children and adolescents with a focus on those identified as having poor dietary
and physical activity habits, parental involvement and incorporating flexibility to enhance engagement.
