Summary

Physical inactivity in children is a major public health risk factor and a health objective for the nation. This study aims to investigate the short- and long-term effects of a movement and physical activity program - the Children Health and Motor Programs (CHAMP) on motor competence, perceived motor competence, and physical activity. A secondary aim of this project (i.e., Science of Behavior Change Administrative Supplement) is to examine the immediate (pre- to post-test) effects of the CHAMP intervention on self-regulation and associations between self-regulation and changes in motor competence, perceived motor competence, and physical activity. The long term goal is to provide evidence-based movement experiences during the early childhood years that promote and contribute to overall healthy growth and development.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Skills Intervention

The behavioral motor skills intervention (CHAMP) is an intervention strategy that uniquely addresses differences in children's developmental levels on an individualized basis. CHAMP does not equate to a "one size fits all" approach. Children will be in an environment that promotes opportunities for them to develop improvements in motor skills based on their specific individual needs and choices. The CHAMP intervention promotes a mastery climate that allows each individual child to be successful and learn while promoting intrinsic motivation and autonomy. CHAMP will be implemented 4x/week for 30 minutes across ≈30 weeks for ≈3000 minutes of intervention time.
