dc.description.abstract | Little is known of how to involve families in physical activity (PA) interventions for children.
In this cluster randomized controlled trial, we recruited families with four- to seven-year-old
children to participate in a year-long study where parents in the intervention group families
(n = 46) received tailored counseling to increase children’s PA. Structured PA was not
served. Control group families (n = 45) did not receive any counseling. PA in all children (n =
91; mean age 6.16 ± 1.13 years at the baseline) was measured by accelerometers at the
baseline and after three, six, nine and 12 months. Motor competence (MC) (n = 89) was
measured at the baseline and after six and 12 months by a KTK (KörperkoordinationsTest
für Kinder) and throwing and catching a ball (TCB) protocols. The effect of parental counseling
on study outcomes was analyzed by a linear mixed-effects model fit by REML and by a
Mann-Whitney U test in the case of the TCB. As season was hypothesized to affect
counseling effect, an interaction of season on the study outcomes was examined. The
results show significant decrease of MVPA in the intervention group when compared to the
control group (p < .05). The TCB showed a nearly significant improvement at six months in
the intervention group compared to the controls (p = .051), but not at 12 months. The intervention
group had a steadier development of the KTK when the interaction of season was
taken into account. In conclusion, more knowledge of family constructs associating with the
effectiveness of counseling is needed for understanding how to enhance PA in children by
parents. However, a hypothesis may be put forward that family-based counseling during an
inactive season rather than an active season may provide a more lasting effect on the development
of KTK in children. | |
