The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of a study protocol designed to elicit fitness effects in obese children through a family-based approach. Whereas, previous ecological interventions for physical activity have utilized school-based settings, this study targets the family unit, thereby having a potential effect on multiple mircosystems and mesosystems.

The simultaneity of undernourishment among child and overweight/obesity among mothers in lowerand-middle-income-countries (LMICs) introduces a new nutrition dilemma, known as double burden of malnutrition (DBM). Amidst of such paradox, the hike of caesarean section (CS) delivery is also triggering child undernutrition and maternal obesity. A gap of knowledge regarding the effect of mode of delivery on DBM still persists.

To increase the knowledge about physical activity (PA) patterns and correlates among children under the age of 4, there is a need for study’s using objective measurements. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate if objectively measured PA among 3-year-old children differed between day of week and time of day and whether it correlated to child weight status and sex as well as parental weight status and education.

Over the last decades, a decline in motor skills and in physical activity and an increase in obesity has been observed in children. However, there is a lack of data in young children. We tested if differences in motor skills and in physical activity according to weight or gender were already present in 2- to 4-year-old children.
