This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odds for excess media use were higher for rural boys (OR 2.11; 95% CI: 1.14, 3.11) and for low SES boys (OR 2.99; 95% CI: 1.34 6.68), as well as for low SES girls (OR 4.12; 95% CI: 1.95, 8.71). Although rural and urban children's MVPA and VPA did not differ in this thesis, rural and low SES boys had both higher daily media hours and increased odds for exceeding AAP media recommendations. Odds for excess media also were increased for low SES girls. Interventions to improve healthy behaviors of young children by limiting screen-based recreation and/or supplying means for alternate activity and play opportunities may be especially beneficial when focused on lower SES and rural areas.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: In 2008, a coalition of community leaders and parents sought to increase access to physical activity opportunities for residents of Meade County, a rural Kentucky community. To date, the Meade Activity Center has implemented a variety of year-round programs conducted at borrowed spaces from local schools that have targeted children, utilizing the strategy to first engage children as a way to extend behavior change to other members of the community. This study assessed the influence of child participation in physical activity programs on parent physical activity, and determined potential methods of intervention to increase adult physical activity in a rural community. Methods: Focus groups and individual interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of 21 parents of children who participated in the physical activity programs. Constructs from social cognitive theory and the social ecological model provided sensitizing concepts that were investigated during data collection. Data were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a grounded theoretical approach. Results: Findings revealed increased community awareness surrounding physical activity following program implementation. In addition to increased physical activity levels, children experienced social growth through program participation. Program effects in increasing child physical activity levels have somewhat "trickled-down" to influence physical activity in parents as well due to the close-knit, family-centered social environment specific to this community. Parents and children encouraged and motivated each other to be physically active, though younger children initiated joint physical activity more often than adolescents. Barriers to adult physical activity, including a lack of community spaces for families to be physically active together, were identified. Conclusions: These findings indicate a bidirectional influence between parent and child physical activity behaviors and the need for community recreational facilities where both children and adults can be physically active together. Study findings highlight the need for further research into the relationship between childhood physical activity interventions and parent health behaviors and outcomes.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research shows that adolescents are not engaging in enough physical activity which has led researchers to explore factors that can lead to an increase in participation. When psychosocial factors have been researched in terms of adolescent physical activity participation, it has been found that parents play an important role. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between parental support and young adolescents' physical activity behaviors. In this study a total of ninety-eight 5th and 6th grade student participants (n = 54 male, n = 44 female) ranging in age from 10 to 14 years (M age=11.7 yrs, SD =0.65) from the Rocky Mountain U.S. were administered questionnaires. Parents of all student participants were also asked to participate in this study, and 112 (n = 19 father, n = 94 mother) parent responses were received. Student participants completed a questionnaire which assessed importance and enjoyment of physical activity, perceived parental social support, and physical activity levels. Parent participants completed a questionnaire which assessed support for their child's physical activity, importance and enjoyment of physical activity for them and for their child, relative importance of physical activity for their child, and parent physical activity levels. Overall, participants reported engaging in 69.28 min of MVPA per day for children, 59.91 min of MVPA per day for fathers and 37.13 min of MVPA for mothers. When MVPA was reported solely by the parent there was a significant correlation between parent and child MVPA (Mother-child r = .27, p

This book was released on 2012 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Parental social support factors contributing to physical activity participation among Hispanic and Latino youth require examination, to assist in efforts to curb unhealthy trends in physical activity participation and subsequent wellness in this population. Methods: Combined perceptions of parental social support by parents and children were assessed to develop a high or low support score. Physical activity data was recorded via accelerometer pre and post intervention, with differences in proportion of moderate to vigorous physical activity calculated by support group. Results: While there were no significant differences in change in physical activity with male participants, among female participants there was a significant difference in the change in proportion of time spent in MVPA between high support and low support groups, with those who had high support showing a mean increase of 5.3% in their proportion of MVPA (t= -2.42; P
Download or read book A Comparative Evaluation of Physical Activity in Home School and Public School Children written by Jodee Ann Schaben and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on children's physical activity indicates that children may not be getting sufficient amounts of physical activity. Much of the research has utilized samples from public schools but little research has been done on the growing population of home school children. This series of studies examines the relationship among the psychosocial correlates of physical activity (Attraction to PA, Perceived Competence, and Parental Influence) between home school and public school children, and their levels and patterns of physical activity. Trends were found for the psychosocial correlates of physical activity, with public school children scoring higher on all three measures than home school children. The findings also indicate a difference in levels of physical activity, although the difference may depend on the assessment tool used to measure physical activity. It is also possible that home school and public school children engage in different types of activities, which may be more identifiable with either a self-report or objective measure. Additionally, the results indicate that Attraction to Physical Activity accounts for the greatest amount of variance in physical activity. This suggests that the more enjoyable the activity is for children, the more likely they may be to participate. It is difficult to draw definitive conclusions from these studies due to inherent differences that may exist between home school and public school parents, as well as the structure of the school day. Future studies should explore the differences that may exist between home school and public school parents, the typical day for home school and public school children, and explore additional correlates, such as motor skills.

This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear-sighted reference offers a transformative new lens for understanding the role of family processes in creating — and stopping — child abuse and neglect. Its integrative perspective emphasizes the interconnectedness of forms of abuse, the diverse mechanisms of family violence, and a child/family-centered, strengths-based approach to working with families. Chapters review evidence-based interventions and also model collaboration between family professionals for effective coordination of treatment and other services. This powerful ecological framework has major implications for improving assessment, treatment, and prevention as well as future research on child maltreatment. Included among the topics:• Creating a safe haven following child maltreatment: the benefits and limits of social support.• “Why didn’t you tell?” Helping families and children weather the process following a sexual abuse disclosure.• Environments recreated: the unique struggles of children born to abused mothers.• Evidence-based intervention: trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for children and families.• Preventing the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment through relational interventions.• Reducing the risk of child maltreatment: challenges and opportunities. Professionals and practitioners particularly interested in family processes, child maltreatment, and developmental psychology will find Parenting and Family Processes in Child Maltreatment and Intervention a major step forward in breaking entrenched abuse cycles and keeping families safe.
