About the Program

Program Philosophy

This program was developed based on the understanding that effective interventions for adolescents with severe obesity require more than just physical exercise. Our approach integrates:

  1. Scientific Exercise Progression: Carefully calibrated to the unique needs of adolescents with BMI >35
  2. Psychological Support: Addressing emotional barriers to physical activity
  3. Family Integration: Providing tools for parents to support without micromanaging
  4. Cultural Sensitivity: Adaptable materials for diverse populations
  5. Accessibility: Remote delivery eliminating transportation and facility barriers

Development Team
