Methods: This intervention program was composed of exercise (twice a week) and 10 educational sessions on nutrition (once every three weeks) for 40 weeks, except for during summer vacation. Seventy three male students from 2 middle schools located in Seoul and Bucheon were enrolled. Anthropometric measurements, physical fitness, dietary habits and nutritional intake status were measured before and after the intervention.
Results: Mean height, weight and lean body mass were increased but waist circumference was reduced at post-intervention compared with pre-intervention. Cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength and power were significantly increased after the program. Also, continuous and systematic educational program on nutrition contributed to improved dietary habits among participants.
