Abstract
This is a letter to authors (Ekelund U et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2004;80:584-90), in which is commented the weakness of the conclusion of the article, which apparently reduces the relevance of the intensity of physical activity in the maintenance of childhood obesity and seems to frustrate the reasonable expectancy for the role potentially played by exercise and physical activity both in the prevention and treatment of overweight. Moreover, it is underlined that, at present, a change from sedentary behavior to a more active lifestyle remains a cornerstone of strategies to prevent and treat childhood obesity.
