The study was characterized as quasi-experimental type, with 33 adolescents who were evaluated before and after 16 weeks of intervention. The anthropometric and fitness variables, BP were assessed, and we also applied the Stage of Change instrument and PSDQ (Physical Self-Description Questionnaire), in order to measure the SBC and the PSD, respectively. The statistical analysis involved measures of central tendency and dispersion, and the comparison between the initial and final periods was performed by Student¡¯s t-test. The comparison between the periods before and after-intervention presented significant differences (p < 0.05) for almost all variables, except for the hip circumference, waist to hip ratio and pull-ups in the adapted bar. The program promoted effective changes in the fat consumption, and habitual physical activity and PSD of habitual physical activity, body fat and appearance. The results are quite promising and evidence the needto expand programs like this, in order to lead to the behavioral change. In this way, the physical education professional has a decisive role on this process. O objetivo do estudo foi Avaliar os efeitos de um programa de interven o multiprofissional sobre: est¨¢gio de mudan a de comportamento (EMC), autodescri o f¨ªsica (ADF), press o arterial (PA) e aptid o f¨ªsica em adolescentes obesos. O Estudo foi classificado como quase experimental realizado com 33 adolescentes que foram avaliados antes e ap¨®s 16 semanas de interven o. Foram avaliadas vari¨¢veis antropom¨¦tricas, de aptid o f¨ªsica, PA e aplicados os instrumentos SOC (Stage of Change) e PSDQ (Physical Self-Description Questionnaire), a fim de mensurar EMC e ADF, respectivamente. A an¨¢lise estat¨ªstica envolveu medidas de tend¨ºncia central e dispers o e a compara o entre os per¨ªodos inicial e final foi realizada pelo teste t de Student. A compara o entre os momentos pr¨¦ e p¨®s-interven o apresentou diferen as significativas (p < 0,05) para quase todas as vari¨¢veis, com exce o da circunfer¨ºncia do quadril, rela o cintura quadril e teste de barra adaptada. Com o estudo, foi poss¨ªvel considerar que o programa mostrou interferir no EMC de consumo de gorduras na dieta e atividade f¨ªsica habitual e na ADF de atividade f¨ªsica habitual, gordura corporal e apar¨ºncia. Os resultados s o bastante promissores e apontam para a necessidade de amp %K adolescents %K obesity %K treatment %K multidisciplinary program %K adolescentes %K obesidade %K tratamento %K programa multiprofissional %U http://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHealthSci/article/view/8934/pdf
