The article is devoted to the development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the organizational model of rendering medical care to children with obesity: «Health School - Weight Control». Тhis is a modern preventive technology. The main direction in its activity is the creation and maintenance of the motivation of the family and child with excessive body weight and/or obesity to a healthy lifestyle. Its tasks include the raise the awareness of family members and children with obesity about the disease, development of practical skills for eliminating unhealthy habits, and improvement of the quality of life of patients and their relatives. To assess the effectiveness of the Health School, not only the anthropometric method was used, but also indices of the quality of life of children and adolescents according to the questionnaire «Pediatrics Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLТМ 4.0)». The study involved 50 patients aged of from 8 to 18 years. 75% of patients showed a gradual weight reduction during the year. The analysis of the dynamics of the quality of life revealed a statistically significant increase in all the components of indices in children involved in the Health School, especially in aspects of emotional and role functioning. The developed model of rendering medical care to patients with obesity allowed optimize the organization of treatment and preventive care for this category of patients.

Randomized Control

ObjectiveAsthma is a leading cause of chronic illness in children, impacting heavily on their daily life and participation in physical activity. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the evidence for the use of physical therapy to improve pulmonary function and aerobic capacity in children with asthma. Furthermore, the review aims to update previous literature on the effect of exercise on health related quality of life.MethodsA search was conducted for randomized control trials (RCTs) using the electronic databases Medline, Embase, SPORTDiscus, AMED, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Studies were included if the participants were asthmatic children aged 6–18 years participating in any mode of physical exercise. Studies were reviewed for study quality, participant details, exercise intervention details, and intervention outcomes.ResultsA total of 16 studies and 516 subjects met inclusion criteria for review. Severity of asthma ranged from mild to severe. No improvement in pulmonary function was observed. Physical training led to an increase in aerobic capacity as measured by VO2max (mL/kg/min).ConclusionsFindings suggest that physical training does not improve pulmonary function in children with asthma, but does increase aerobic capacity. The small number of studies investigating quality of life suggests that physical training does improve health related quality of life; however further well designed randomized control trials are needed to verify these findings.
