Abstract

Physical fitness is associated with decreased weight in children, which helps improve youth obesity rates. Family programs can provide practical approaches to improving physical fitness for children. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of a family-based fitness intervention on changes in body composition, fitness status, and perceptions of obese children. Families attended exercise and education sessions for 60–90 min once per week for 10 weeks. Participants consisted of 10 children who participated in semi-structured interviews, body composition, and fitness assessments at pre- and posttest. Following the intervention, results showed that children had a significant increase in sit-ups (p = .03, effect size = 0.79), lean mass (p < .001, Cohen’s d = 1.95), and bone mineral content (p < .001, Cohen’s d = 0.46). Using thematic analysis, four main themes emerged from the pre- and postintervention interviews: an increase in after-school and weekend intentional physical fitness, rules regarding sedentary behavior and screen time, more prevalent physical fitness reinforcements, and a shift in perception of exercise. Results from this study indicate a family-based intervention had an influence on children’s appreciation for and engagement in physical fitness, as well as healthy body composition and fitness outcomes.
以家庭为基础的健身干预后儿童认知和身体组成的变化
身体健康与儿童体重减轻有关,这有助于提高青少年肥胖率。家庭项目可以提供切实可行的方法来提高儿童的身体素质。本研究的目的是评估以家庭为基础的健身干预对肥胖儿童身体成分、健康状况和认知变化的影响。家庭每周参加一次60-90分钟的锻炼和教育课程,持续10周。参与者包括10名儿童,他们在测试前和测试后参加了半结构化访谈、身体组成和健康评估。干预后,结果显示儿童的仰卧起坐显著增加(p =。03,效应值= 0.79),瘦肉质量(p <。0.001, Cohen’s d = 1.95),骨矿物质含量(p < 0.05)。0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.46)。通过主题分析,干预前和干预后的访谈中出现了四个主要主题:课后和周末有意识的身体健康的增加,关于久坐行为和屏幕时间的规则,更普遍的身体健康强化,以及锻炼观念的转变。本研究结果表明,家庭干预对儿童对体育锻炼的欣赏和参与,以及健康的身体成分和健身结果有影响。
