Conditions

  • Physical Activity in Children

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

UNICEF kid power program immediately

The intervention will be delivered via the UNICEF Kid Power website (https://www.unicefkidpower.org/) and any screened device such as a computer, smartphone, smart TV or an electronic tablet can be used to watch the videos and perform the assigned physical activity. Participants will self-select activities 5 days a week. The participants will have the choice to undertake the physical activity in bouts and accumulate it over the course of the day. To promote adherence to intervention, a weekly email with reminder to perform the physical activity will be sent to parents. In addition, research-based articles on the importance of physical activity and behavior change in children will also be emailed.

BEHAVIORAL

UNICEF kid power program for waitlist control

The wait-list control group will perform physical activity as usual and will only receive a weekly email on the importance of healthy dietary habits in children. The intervention will last 12 weeks. At the end of the study, the wait-list control group will be offered the UNICEF Kid Power intervention for a duration of 12-weeks

DEVICE

ActiGraph Accelerometer

The participants will be mailed accelerometers and instructed to wear for 7 consecutive days during their waking hours, prior to the start of intervention. The mail containing the accelerometer will accompany pictorial instructions, explaining in detail the correct way of wearing it.
