Feasibility of a Healthy Lifestyle Program (Athletes for Life) in Mexicali, Baja California
Impact of a Binational Healthy Lifestyle Program in Underserved Communities in Mexicali, Baja California: The Athletes for Life Program (AFL-Mexicali)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Childhood obesity affects 36.6% of children in Mexico and nearly 50% in Baja California. Traditional weight-centered interventions yield modest and unsustainable results. In contrast, improving cardiorespiratory fitness provides broad health benefits independently of weight loss. This quasi-experimental study assesses the feasibility and viability of Athletes for Life (AFL)-a community- and family-based behavioral program for parent-child dyads in Mexicali-comparing its overall impact against a control group.
