Reply to comment by kermitpolice in Research suggests that school-based physical activity intervention, by way of increasing physical exercise classes to daily during school, is successful in reducing childhood obesity. Scientists found that obesity was reversed after 3 years. by Wagamaga
You can't outrun a bad diet. Looking at their BMI table from control to intervention, the drop is 'there' but almost meaningless.

You can until a certain age. After a while the contents of the food you're eating catch up with you in the form of health problems, regardless of activity levels or body fat percentage.
