Research indicates physical education plays an important role in weight control and management among overweight or at-risk-of-overweight girls (Kirk et al., 2005). Additionally, the majority of the physical education programs are focused on girls rather than boys (Datar & Sturm, 2004). This is significant given the projected increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in male children. Hence, a physical education program for boys, especially Mexican American boys, will provide important information as well as help achieve our national goal of eliminating health disparities and improving the health of all groups by the year 2020 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.).
