Previous research has shown that overweight Latino children underestimate their body size. Erroneous perception of body size may have important health and behavioral implications and serve as a significant barrier to weight control. The aim of this study was to determine whether children’s perceptions of their body size became more accurate following a pediatric obesity intervention focused on increasing physical activity. This analysis includes 61 overweight (body mass index ≥85%) Latino children (aged 8–11 years) parent-child dyads who completed a pilot randomized control trial. After the intervention, 40.7% (11/27) of children in the intervention group rated their body size accurately compared to 21.2% (7/33) in the control group. The difference indicates a trend towards significance (P = .09). Participating in monthly physical activity skill building sessions may increase children’s accuracy in body size perception. This may be an important first step towards behavior modification.
