Abstract
El alarmante aumento de la obesidad infantil y los trastornos metabólicos relacionados representa un problema acuciante para la salud mundial, con más de 340 millones de niños y adolescentes de 5 a 19 años clasificados como con sobrepeso u obesos, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud . Esta epidemia pone de relieve la necesidad crítica de estrategias basadas en evidencia para promover la salud metabólica a través de la actividad física. La participación regular en intervenciones de ejercicio estructurado, la actividad física habitual y los enfoques innovadores han mejorado la sensibilidad a la insulina, los perfiles lipídicos y la función metabólica general de los jóvenes. Al examinar diversas perspectivas y metodologías, este tema de investigación proporciona información práctica para desarrollar intervenciones y políticas efectivas para combatir este problema generalizado.
