Gamified Family-based Health Exercise Intervention to Improve Adherence to 24-h Movement Behaviors Recommendations in Children.

Summary

Physical inactivity is the fourth most important risk factor for mortality worldwide and it contributes to weight gain and obesity. On the contrary, it is established that regular physical activity is a prevention and managerial factor of these non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the goal of this study is to design and evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week physical exercise and lifestyle improvement training program carried out in a family environment, through a web platform, and with "online" supervision. This platform will improve the physical conditioning and adherence to PE in a "family environment", and to promote good development of the child through physical activities and exercises that can be done as a family at home and/or outside.

Conditions

• Physical Inactivity
• Obesity, Childhood
• Sedentary Behavior

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Gamified exercise training

Participants will complete a 2-days-a-week online training routine with their families: Each session will include a Warm-Up/Activation phase (3 minutes: light intensity continuous training), a Training phase (10-26 minutes: 6-12 repetitions, 20-40" of work, 10-20" recovery), and a Cool Down phase (3 minutes: static and dynamic exercises). The exercises will be different each week and will increase in length and intensity accordingly. The sessions will be supervised by the participants parent(s) and/or guardian(s).

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Care

This group will be allocated to standard care and therefore no gamified online exercise training will be provided. They will continue to perform their daily routine/activities including their basic motor skills classes at school and their extracurricular sports and/or cultural activities.
