AGUILAR CORDERO, M. J. et al. Influence of a program of physical activity in children and adolescents obese: evaluation of physiological stress by compounds in saliva; study protocol. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.3, pp.705-708. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2013.28.3.6394.

Different studies^{4, 5} relate that stress increases in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity, and consequently their salivary physiological responses (AEA salivary alpha-amylase, cortisol, cytokines, leptin), so in this study we relate these two parameters to see their progress through a program of physical activity. If we manage to reduce overweight or obesity, these physiological responses and stress should also be reduced, thus improving the overall health status of these children and adolescents. The overall objective of the study was to determine the influence of physical activity in obese children and adolescents in perceived stress. An observational, descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study will be carried out. The universe is made up of 60 overweight / obese children and adolescents aged between 10 and 18 years. The assessment will take place from September 2012 to September 2013. To collect saliva samples, the ELISA8 method will be used. variables such as BMI, lifestyle and diet will also be collected Among the expected results are to lower overweight and obesity in children through physical activity program. To reduce stress and to normalize physiological salivary parameters.
