This study is evaluating an existing program called "Get Up & Go Healthy Lifestyle Program" for children aged 6 to 14 years who are overweight or have obesity. The program involves 10 weekly sessions for both the child and a parent, focusing on healthy living and physical activity. Researchers want to see how the program affects a child's BMI (Body Mass Index), which is a measure of body fat based on height and weight, over three months. To join, your child's BMI must be at or above the 85th percentile, and they need to be able to participate in physical activity and understand instructions like a 6-year-old. The study is currently unclear about its status.
