Study participants Participants (80 boys and 79 girls) completed a validated quality of life (QOL) inventory and wore an accelerometer to objectively measure physical activity for 1 week. Methods: WHO (2007) standardized growth charts were used to categorize participants as obese (SD >+ 2 SD) and normal weight status (SD >− 2 SD z <+ 1 SD) while accelerometer data was used to categorize participants as meeting or not meeting the recommended guidelines for physical activity. Results: Psychosocial and total QOL (all P < 0.05) were significantly lowered for obese when compared to normal weight participants. Less physically active children, irrespective of weight status, had significantly lower psychosocial and total QOL (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: Physical activity promotion in obese children may have additional benefits to weight management that include improving QOL. 15 2 206-248
