Abstract

Efforts to decrease the risk of overweight and obesity should focus on children's physical activity (PA) and fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. Within school-based interventions, there is insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of the use of character modeling and goal setting to determine changes in step counts, MVPA, and FV consumption. Study participants were 187 students in grades 4 and 5 from 2 Title 1 elementary schools in the Southwest United States. The intervention was a quasi-experimental character modeling and goal setting program. New Lifestyles NL-1000 activity monitors were used to assess number of steps taken and MVPA by the participants. Fruit and vegetable consumption was measured by direct observation. School day steps, MVPA, and FV consumption were recorded at baseline, intervention, and during a 10-week follow-up. There were not differences between groups at baseline. Steps and MVPA were statistically significantly (P < .05; Δ = ~2500 steps and ~5 minutes of MVPA) greater in the intervention compared with the control group over time. Fruit and vegetable consumption was not significantly (P = .308) greater in the intervention compared with the control group over time. Students in the intervention school were significantly more active than students in the control school during the intervention phase and at follow-up. The findings reported here would suggest that character modeling and goal setting can increase PA among elementary aged children but did not increase FV consumption.

适合“N”酷孩子:性格塑造和目标设定对儿童体育活动和果蔬消费的影响。
降低超重和肥胖风险的努力应该集中在儿童的体育活动(PA)和水果蔬菜(FV)消费上。在基于学校的干预措施中,没有足够的证据表明使用性格建模和目标设定来确定步数、MVPA和FV消耗的变化的有效性。研究参与者是美国西南部两所一级小学四年级和五年级的187名学生。干预是一个准实验性的性格建模和目标设定程序。新生活方式NL-1000活动监测器用于评估参与者所采取的步骤数量和MVPA。水果和蔬菜的消耗量是通过直接观察来测量的。在基线、干预和10周随访期间记录上学日步数、MVPA和FV消耗。在基线时各组之间没有差异。Steps和MVPA有统计学意义(P P = .308)随着时间的推移在干预中比对照组更大。在干预阶段和随访中,干预学校的学生明显比对照学校的学生更活跃。本文报道的研究结果表明,性格建模和目标设定可以增加小学年龄儿童的PA,但不会增加FV的消耗。
