  • Title: An activity calendar program for children who are overweight.
    Author: Yackel EE.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 2003; 29(1):17-22. PubMed ID: 12630501.
    Abstract:
    Sedentary lifestyle activities, such as computer use and television viewing, are modifiable causes of overweight among children. There are many recommendations in the literature that suggest the number of children who are overweight must be decreased; however, none of the research describes an instrument to achieve this goal. This article describes the use of a home-based physical activity calendar and its successes and failures.
