摘要
简介:《The Daily Mile》的重复性可能会影响用户的长期粘性。这项研究比较了“每日一英里”和“改进版”对参与和享受有组织的体育活动的影响。方法:一个来自6所小学的~ 7岁和~ 11岁的队列参与了这项研究,主要评估了每个组在评估前和评估后的变化。两所学校被分配到每日一英里(n = 102名儿童;M = 8.81年,SD = 1.97), 2所学校改为修改版(n = 87;M = 9.16年,SD = 2.76),两所学校作为对照(n = 79;M = 10.05年,SD = 1.9),持续10周。健康评估包括心肺功能(550米跑)、基本运动技能(大肌肉运动发展测试-2)和健康相关生活质量(KIDSCREEN-27)。加速度计测量学校的身体活动,同时使用改进的pace问卷评估享受程度。干预后焦点小组(n = 10)包括教师和儿童。结果:每日一英里(~ 7岁:p p = 0.004)及其改良版本(~ 7岁:p p p = 0.034;~ 11岁:p p = 1.000;~ 11岁:p = 0.807)。对健康相关生活质量的显著积极影响归因于参与修改版本(p = 0.036),而不是每日一英里(p = 0.205)。修改版本的享受得分明显更高(4.61 vs. 4.43;p = 0.024)。讨论:参与每日一英里与改善健康状况有关。然而,修改计划,使其包括更多种类,有可能提供更广泛的健康益处,更长的参与时间,并增加乐趣。未来的研究应该探索这种修改后的版本在学校的长期实施。
Comparing the impact of "The Daily Mile™" vs. a modified version on Irish primary school children's engagement and enjoyment in structured physical activity.
Introduction: The repetitive nature of The Daily Mile may affect long-term engagement. This study compared the impact of The Daily Mile with a modified version on engagement and enjoyment of structured physical activity.
Methods: A ∼7-year-old and ∼11-year old cohort from six primary schools participated in this study, which primarily evaluated pre- to post-assessment changes within each group. Two schools were assigned to The Daily Mile (n = 102 children; M = 8.81 years, SD = 1.97), two schools to the modified version (n = 87; M = 9.16 years, SD = 2.76), and two schools served as controls (n = 79; M = 10.05 years, SD = 1.9) for 10-weeks. Health assessments conducted included cardiorespiratory fitness (550 m Run), fundamental movement skills (Test of Gross Motor Development-2), and health-related quality of life (KIDSCREEN-27). Accelerometers measured school-based physical activity, while enjoyment was assessed using a modified PACES questionnaire. Post-intervention focus groups (n = 10) included teachers and children.
Results: Both the Daily Mile (∼7-year-old: p < 0.001; ∼11-year-old: p = 0.004) and its modified version (∼7-year-old: p < 0.001; ∼11-year-old: p < 0.001) had a significant impact on cardiorespiratory fitness. Participation in the modified version led to significant improvements in fundamental movement skills (∼7-year-old: p = 0.034; ∼11-year-old: p < 0.001), unlike participation in The Daily Mile (∼7-year-old: p = 1.000; ∼11-year-old: p = 0.807). A significant positive effect on health-related quality of life was attributed to participation in the modified version (p = 0.036), but not to The Daily Mile (p = 0.205). Enjoyment scores were significantly higher for the modified version (4.61 vs. 4.43; p = 0.024).
Discussion: Participation in The Daily Mile is associated with improved health outcomes. Nevertheless, modifying the initiative to include greater variety has the potential to offer broader health benefits, longer engagement, and increased enjoyment. Future research should explore the long-term implementation of this modified version in schools.
