Summary

The intervention aims to increase physical activity, an important health behavior, in a high-risk sample (i.e., Black and Hispanic/Latino mothers). The study builds on the investigators' previous work by adapting an evidence-based theory guided physical activity intervention to be implemented in a community setting mothers regularly spend time for their children's extracurricular activities, circumventing barriers commonly cited by racial/ethnic minority mothers (e.g., other responsibilities, time barriers, transportation, and childcare). The investigators will partner with a local youth sports organization to adapt and deliver a physical activity intervention to mothers during practice. They aim to convene a community advisory board of coaches and parents to enhance participant acceptability and work through any feasibility issues with implementation. The investigators will then conduct an open pilot trial of the physical activity intervention administered to mothers during their children's sports practices. They will assess feasibility, acceptability, and examine the effects of the intervention on mothers' physical activity. The investigators hypothesize that mothers in the intervention will increase their physical activity.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical activity intervention

While the final content and structure of the intervention will be informed by community advisory board, participants will receive a culturally adapted, Social Cognitive Theory and Transtheoretical Model-based PA intervention. The evidence-based, theory guided aerobic physical activity intervention will systematically build upon the investigators' prior studies and includes the following components: goal setting, in-person physical activity sessions, and written materials.
