Purpose
Obese adolescents are submitted to a multiprofessional weight loss program, which is formed by doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists,and physiologists. The volunteers have intervention 3 times a week during one year, where they practice exercises, have nutrition and psychology counseling, and physiotherapy orientation. Once a month they have an appointment with the doctor. The hypothesis of this study is that a multiprofessional therapy is able to improve anthropometric and biochemical parameters, and also the quality of life of obese adolescents.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Body composition [ Time Frame: six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The body composition was measured by plethysmography and by densitometry.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- visceral and subcutaneous fat were analyzed by ultrasound [ Time Frame: six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The visceral and subcutaneous fat were analyzed by ultrasound
- Serum analysis [ Time Frame: six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The serum analysis was done by blood samples that were collected at the outpatient clinic around 8 a.m. after an overnight fast by a skilled and qualified technician.
- Lung function [ Time Frame: six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The lung function was measured with a spirometer EasyOne® model 2001 (Zurich, CH) according to American Thoracic Society criteria.

Detailed Description:
The volunteers are submitted to 10 exams (electrocardiogram, polysomnography, blood collection, body composition, rest metabolic rate, DXA, abdominal and carotid ultrasonography, lung function evaluation, ergospirometric test) 3 times a year (baseline, middle and at the end of the year). They also answer nutrition, sleep and psychology questionnaires.
