AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine whether directly measured physical activity and sedentary 
      behavior patterns of obese children presenting to a weight-management clinic 
      differs from nationally representative samples of obese and normal-weight 
      children. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional comparison study of 3 groups of boys 
      and girls between 8 and 18 years (mean, 13.4 years) was performed. A clinical 
      group (n=56) seeking specialized care for obesity was compared with 2 nationally 
      representative samples of children from the Canadian Health Measures Survey 
      (CHMS): (1) body mass index>95th percentile (n=143); and (2) body mass index<85th 
      percentile (n=958). RESULTS: Obese clinical and obese CHMS boys did not differ in 
      daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Both obese groups engaged in 
      less MVPA than normal-weight boys in the CHMS (P<.0006). Compared with 
      normal-weight boys, obese boys had fewer days in which they accrued 60 or 30 
      minutes of MVPA (P=.006 and .01, respectively). Daily MVPA did not differ among 
      the 3 groups of girls. Light activity in clinical boys was lower than in the 
      normal weight CHMS boys, whereas clinical girls engaged in less light activity 
      than both CHMS comparators. No differences were observed between groups for 
      sedentary behavior. CONCLUSIONS: Obese youth, whether in clinic or the community, 
      were not more sedentary than their normal-weight CHMS comparators. Although obese 
      youth were less active, overall MVPA was low in all groups. This finding 
      highlights the need for health professionals to target both physical activity and 
      sedentary behavior in all children, rather than focusing on only children with 
      obesity.
