This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Background: The increasing numbers of overweight children and adolescents poses a major threat to America's health. Although the Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Department of Education, and Texas Department of Health provide schools with guidelines to improve their physical education (PE), the best way to evaluate these guidelines is not established. Therefore, their actual benefit is unknown. Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that newer high school exercise programs can help reverse the heart abnormalities that occur in overweight youngsters. Specific Aims and Procedures: After a physical examination and answering a questionnaire, the students will undergo some testing before and after participate in one of two different physical education courses. One course will be no different from those taught presently. The other will be a newly designed program that is in greater accordance with state and national guidelines. The tests that will be performed include an electrocardiogram (ECG), a form of heart rhythm analysis called heart rate variability, and a heart sonogram (echocardiogram). Some blood will be drawn for analysis of blood sugar, insulin, a hormone called leptin, and fatty acid. Experimental Design: We will determine whether the new PE course is an improvement over the present-day course by seeing if beneficial changes occur in the tests that were obtained before the course began. Significance: Overweight adolescents are at increased risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. These problems will significantly decrease their quality of life and life expectancy, and will greatly increase the costs of health care.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 背景：越来越多的超重儿童和青少年对美国的健康构成了重大威胁。 尽管疾病控制中心，美国教育部和德克萨斯州卫生部为学校提供了改善体育教育（PE）的指南，但尚未确定评估这些准则的最佳方法。 因此，它们的实际收益是未知的。 假设：我们的假设是，较新的高中锻炼计划可以帮助扭转超重年轻人出现的心脏异常。 具体目的和程序：在体格检查和回答问卷之后，学生将在参加两种不同的体育课程之一之前和之后接受一些测试。 一门课程与目前教授的课程没有什么不同。 另一个将是一个新设计的计划，它符合州和国家准则。 将执行的测试包括心电图分析的一种心律分析形式，称为心率变异性和心脏超声图（超声心动图）。 将抽出一些血液，以分析血糖，胰岛素，一种称为瘦素的激素和脂肪酸。 实验设计：我们将通过查看在课程开始之前获得的测试中是否发生了有益的变化来确定新的PE课程是否对当今课程有所改善。 意义：超重青少年患糖尿病，心脏病和高血压的风险增加。 这些问题将大大降低其生活质量和预期寿命，并大大增加医疗保健的成本。
