ABSTRACT
Obesity is a global health problem that affects not only adults and older adults, but also children and adolescents, thus recognizing the need to adapt the educational intervention programs of the Ministry of Education, in partnership with the Ministry of Public Health, to adapt them to the children's universe. It has been demonstrated in practice that physical activity is an ideal space for the educational inclusion of all schoolchildren; we have moved from the paradigm of integration to the paradigm of inclusion, where everyone enjoys differentiated attention according to their needs. It is the authors' purpose to communicate about an educational intervention applied to 9-year-old children with obesity and overweight, with actions that modify their lifestyle and educate the family to face this alarming health problem in this age group.REFERENCES
