Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effect of remote exercise support on weight loss and maintenance in obese adolescents.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2018, a total of 118 adolescents with simple obesity who were treated in the Outpatient Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism in PKU Care Lu'an hospital were selected by the convenient sampling method. They were divided into the control group and the experimental group by the random number table method, with 59 cases in each group. The control group received a routine outpatient follow-up intervention for 6 months and the experimental group also received a 6-month outpatient intervention. The outpatient intervention included 3 months of intervention and 3 months of maintenance. During 3 months of intervention, the mobile wearable device was used to design the exercise scheme based on the internet, and the combination of the scheme and the supporting mobile APP monitoring system was used for remote exercise support. During the maintenance period of 3 months, the same intervention method as the control group was adopted. The study lasted for 6 months. The weight change and maintenance status were compared between the two groups at different intervention times.Results:In the intervention period (the first 3 months) , the weight showed a trend of weight loss in two groups, and the weight in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . From the maintenance period (the last 3 months) , the weight of both groups rebounded, but the weight of patients in the experimental group were always lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . By the end of the intervention period (the first 3 months) , there was no statistically significant difference in the standard-reaching rate of weight loss > 5% between the two groups ( P>0.05) . But the standard-reaching rates of weight loss >10% and weight loss >15% in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . During the maintenance period (the last 3 months) , the standard-reaching rates of weight loss >5%, weight loss >10% and weight loss>15% in the experimental group were all higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Remote exercise support can help obese adolescents further lose weight and delay body weight rebound.
