"Community-based programs could offer an acceptable way for overweight and obese teens to trim down, Australian researchers report...More failure touted as success.
While parents said their children were choosing healthier foods and getting more exercise, there was actually no change in participants' average levels of physical activity or the amount of time they spent being sedentary, and no change in average body mass index (BMI)."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
