Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 73 crianças e adolescentes obesos com idade entre 6 e 16 anos (10,9±3,1anos), 31 meninos e 42 meninas, participantes do projeto “Super-Ação”, desenvolvido na Unesp – Campus Presidente Prudente. A caracterização dos FR para SM foi feita, seguindo as recomendações da I Diretriz de Prevenção da Aterosclerose na Infância e na Adolescência (2005). Foram mensurados os seguintes componentes: gordura corporal total e de tronco, glicemia, colesterol total e triglicérides, pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD). Para o tratamento estatístico foram calculados média e desvio-padrão de todas as variáveis da amostra. Para cada FR, foi calculada a frequência daqueles que apresentaram valores acima das recomendações e também foi verificada a frequência de indivíduos que apresentavam mais de um FR para a SM, utilizando o software SPSS, versão 10.0. / Objective: To verify the prevalence of risk factors(RF) of metabolic syndrome(MS) in obese children and adolescents. Methods: A transversal study was performed with 73 obese children and adolescents (31 male and 42 female), aged six to 16 years (10,9±3,1years), all participants of the project “Super-Ação”, developed at UNESP – Campus of Presidente Prudente. The characterization of RF for SM was made according to the recommendations of I Diretriz de Prevenção da Aterosclerose na Infância e na Adolescência (2005). Total body and trunk fat, glicemy, total cholesterol and triglicerydes, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, were measured. For statistical analysis, average and standard deviation of all variables of the sample were calculated. For each RF the frequency of those who presented values above of the recommendations, was calculated. It was also calculated the frequency of individuals who presented more than one RF for MS. The software SPSS version 10.0.

The purpose of this research is to mainly determine and describe what the current role of physical education and extra‐curricular activities and how other factors and elements influence childhood obesity so that I can make recommendations on what can be done to combat childhood obesity. The desire to under‐go this research was motivated by the prevalence of childhood obesity that is increasing at an exponential rate which has gained popularity as a universal problem.
