To see if the KCP application had immediate effects on BMI% scores for overweight children within the sample, a repeatedmeasures ANOVA was conducted with two study groups (KCP and
control) and with three study phases (one year before, baseline, and end of three-month KCP application). The dependent variable was the BMI% score for the 112 children with BMI% values above the 85th percentile the year before, with a low degree of skewness (.4) found for this distribution of BMI% scores. ANOVA results found only a study phase main effect (F= 10.05, p = .000; partial = .084) showing that overweight children from both KCP and control groups decreased their BMI% across the three study phases. Post hoc comparisons revealed no change in BMI% scores for overweight children from the year before to baseline conditions (tcorr = .85, p = .398), but with a significant decrease in BMI% only after the three-month KCP application (tcorr = 3.49, p = .001; with a mean drop of 2.6 in their BMI%). To see if these BMI% decreases for overweight children lasted until six months later, a repeated-measures ANOVA was conducted with two study groups (KCP and control) and two study phases (end of KCP and six months later).
