ty systematically recognizes, and treats the masters of over-nutrition in obesi-
ty of children, and children with reduced physical capacity. The programme is
intended for children of the 3rd grade in adolescents of 6th grade with obesi-
ty signs, and their parents. The paediatrician was the selected as the pilot pro-
gramme leader of the project, while the co-ordination of activities among the
team members was taken over by a nurse. The dietitian planned the content of
the workshops according to the Family Treatment Manual to reduce the risk of
obesity. The psychologists played an important role in contributing information
successfully to families in their everyday life, which supported the dietitian’s
role. The psychologist's task in the team was primarily motivational. Kinesiolo-
gist was to describe the amount of activity and the degree of physical develop-
ment. The starting points of the physical activity plan were also defined, cover-
ing the type, intensity, duration and frequency of activities. The enforcement of
the programme in a regular implementation would be a good contribution to
the preservation and strengthening of the health of children and adolescents,
which would reduce the risk.
