Understanding variables associated with shared PA is essential to inform effective, tailored PA interventions for families. The purpose of this study was to identify predictors and to assess the acceptability of shared PA in parent – child dyads. Each parent – child dyad ( n = 31; mean ± SD age, parents: 38.0 ± 6.6 yr, children: 5.9 ± 1.7 yr) was guided through five standardized PAs (brisk walking, jumping games, body-weight exercises, dancing, and tag games) at a research fitness center. Parents reported demographic characteristics and PA-related variables (i.e., PA self-efficacy, family chaos, and annual household income). One week later, parents ( n = 28) reported their dyad ’ s weekly minutes spent in shared PA. A forward selection procedure was used to determine the optimal regression model for predicting minutes of shared PA. McNemar ’ s tests were used to determine the dyad ’ s acceptability of each shared PA. Lower family chaos ( β = − 19.41, P = 0.034), higher parent body mass index ( β = 7.65, P = 0.003), and higher annual household income ( β = 11.85, P = 0.023) predicted minutes of shared PA. Jumping games, body-weight exercises, dancing, and tag games were not acceptable for parent – child dyads to participate in together ( P < 0.05). Brisk walking was an acceptable shared PA ( P = 0.125). Lower family chaos, higher parent body mass index, and higher annual household income predicted shared PA. Brisk walking was an acceptable PA for parent – child dyads to participate outside of a research laboratory setting. These results can aid future PA programs that include children and parents together.","PeriodicalId":75243,"journal":{"name":"Translational journal of the American College of Sports Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66085348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is hypothesized that neurocognitive processes, specifically executive functions (EFs, i.e., inhibition, working memory, mental flexibility), underlie self-regulation, self-efficacy, and are essential for the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors. Behavioral weight loss programs generally attempt to improve self-regulation; however, these skills are difficult to implement long-term. Strengthening EFs through cognitive training may improve weight maintenance by improving self-efficacy and self-regulation, resulting in improved program attendance and improved adherence to dietary and PA recommendations.

Sedentary behavior is defined as any waking behavior characterized by an energy expenditure ≤1.5 metabolic equivalents (METs), while in a sitting, reclining, or lying posture. These restrictions negatively impact peoples' cardiometabolic and mental health and disproportionately affect certain sectors of the population, including racial/ethnic minorities. In part, the higher risk for complications of COVID-19 could be the result of increased prevalence of comorbid diseases. Further, regular participation and adherence to current physical activity guidelines, defined as at least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity physical activity or muscle strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week, is challenging for many and may be especially difficult to achieve during the COVID-19 pandemic. A practical strategy to promote health and well-being during COVID-19 is reducing sedentary behavior. Reducing sedentary behaviors (e.g., breaking up periods of prolonged sitting with light-intensity physical activity) may be more easily achieved than physical activity for all individuals, including individuals of racial/ethnic decent, as it does not require purchasing equipment nor require compromising the physical restrictions necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The current study reports on the results of the implementation of a daily 10-min Just Dance break in the classroom. A total of 31 Dutch primary school teachers agreed to participate in the study. We collected data on the frequency of the use of the Just Dance breaks via an online registration system. Data on the long-term barriers and facilitators of the implementation were collected using two online questionnaires. In addition, we held five interviews with teachers to elucidate data on barriers and facilitators. The results show that none of the teachers maintained the Just Dance breaks on a daily basis, and only 19% (n = 6) of the teachers on a weekly basis (i.e., one to three times a week). According to all participating teachers, a lack of time was the primary barrier to implement Just Dance breaks on a daily basis. Teachers who did not maintain Just Dance breaks on a weekly basis also experienced difficulties in 1) keeping all pupils engaged during the full 10-min Just Dance break or 2) getting the pupils focused again after the Just Dance break. Teachers who maintained the Just Dance breaks on a weekly basis provided several practical recommendations for a more sustainable implementation process. This study shows that the implementation process of daily Just Dance breaks is challenging.
