The Archive of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine recently reported their results of the Stanford Sports to Prevent Obesity Randomized Trial (SPORT). As a result of their six-month study of low-income children who played soccer, they learned that their body mass significantly decreased in three and six month intervals and the level of their physical activity rose during this time period. Their conclusion? Playing soccer afterschool was an effective means to keep children healthy.
Review the study to learn more.
