The present study analyzed the effects of detraining
(6 months) on kinanthropometry and the components
of physical fitness after an intervention (31 months)
of a program of exercise and exercise plus diet in
obese boys. The results indicated that the changes in
kinanthropometry and physical fitness parameters
obtained after both interventions were maintained.
Thus, it appears that, with long-term longitudinal
interventions, the fitness and body composition values
attained remain even after a de-conditioning period
