- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: This thesis is part of a bigger project (the “Health and Academic Performance with Happy Children (HAPHC)”-project), a 3-year controlled intervention study, that observed the impact of daily integrated physical activity on health and academic performance of primary school children, aiming at counteracting obesity (OB). Applying ultrasound (US) in a standardized protocol has been found a reliable tool for measuring the thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). New knowledge in the field of metabolomics has shown the potential of identifying biomarkers for certain diseases, including OB, by analysing biofluids.
