Shared responsibility to increase physical activity Flashcards
what needs to be done to get Canadian kids moving?
family support has been shown to be positively associated with children’s PA levels
what has been effective at improving PA levels in children and youth
family based interventions
how a family moves has a
direct impact on the children in the family
what families can do to help their children moving
can facilitate PA by encouraging, watching, role modeling, co-participating, and attending PA events
another way families can help their children move
prioritize PA and incorporate it into daily routines
what can families create a mindset of
where being active wont have to be a choice for canadian children and youth, it will become second nature
what is parent’s PA directly associated with
that of their children’s
how is parent’s PA associated with that of their children’s
each additional 20 mins of moderate to vigorous PA by parent is associated with an additional 5 mins in their child’s daily PA
connection is clear: more families move
the more children and youth move
what is on the rise
family screen time
in 2019, 52% of parents said they spend too much time on their mobile device, up from 29% in 2016
what is the proportion of children and youth who thought a parent was addicted to their mobile devices
and wished their parent would get off their device was increase from 28% in 2016 to 39% in 2019
what is children and youth’s screen time on
a sharp incline
stats for children and youth owning phone
by age 11, over half (53%) of children have their own smart phone, and this increased to 69% by age 12
what can parents do to make it more likely to follow through and support their child’s healthy movement behaviours
make specific plans (how, when, where)
as children age, their families provide
less support for movement behaviours however parental support remains extremely important in supporting these bahaviours in children and youth
what diminishes as children age with parental support
everything about the influence is diminishing but still within the influence is still there
what interventions are generally effective at improving PA
family-based interventions
what interventions are generally not effective at increasing PA
screen time interventions to increase PA is less conclusive
what is not effective about screen time interventions
providing families with educational materials about reducing screen time, without providing additional intervention components, may not be effective in changing child and youth PA behaviours
why is information not enough in terms of changing behaviour
need something more intentional in which we’re creating scenarios to reduce or increase something
what does current evidence supports
using interventions that focus on self-regulatory approaches (e.g., planning, setting goals) and involve the whole family
what is purpose of social ecological model
expand beyond initiatives that exclusively target individual behaviours
what is the social ecological model
expands our thinking beyond the individual through a series of circles within circles
what are inside the cirlces
policy and procedure considerations
environmental considerations
social considerations
individual considerations
more children, more active, more often
first circle
the goal: more children, more active, more often
second larger circle
addressing individual considerations
third larger circle
social considerations
fourth bigger circle
addressing environmental considerations
fifth bigger circle
policy and procedure considerations
when are the efforts to change behaviours more likely to be successful (social ecological model)
when the multiple influential considerations are factored in at the same time (so they are in harmony)
individual factors that influence the likelihood of PA
competence
confidence
barriers
autonomy
age
gender
social factors that influence the likelihood of PA
family
peers
institutions and organizations (schools, workplaces)
social support
cultural backgrounds
community norms
social factors refer to the
formal and informal social climate and support network and systems surrounding an individual
environmental factors that influence the likelihood of PA
natural - weather or geography
built or person-made
what can environments provide
prompts, or they can deter activity
policies and procedures that influence the likelihood of PA
the legislations, regulations, formal rules, informal rules or understandings that are adopted on a collective basis to guide individual and collective behaviour
for example, policies and procedures at a fitness facility could influence
how a individual answers the following questions:
- do I belong here
- what images are posted
- what language is used
- am I safe here
- am I on display
- would I encourage my friend to come here
what should the four essential criteria for the design of PE learning experiences be used as
a template to help instructors determine if an instructional plan has the potential to generate desired student learning
what is unrealistic about the 4 criteria for design of PE experiences
that a learning experience will meet all 4, but it is hope that teacher strives to meet them
criterion one
the learning experience must have the potential to improve the motor performance/activity skills of students
criterion 2
the learning experience must provide maximal activity or practice time for all students
criterion 3
the learning experience must be appropriate for the experiential and ability level of all students
criterion four
the learning experience should have the potential to integrate cognitive, psychomotor, and affective educational goals whenever possible
