Summary

This study has the goal to increase physical activity and fitness among Latinos in San Diego, California and Mexicali, Baja California (U.S.-Mexico border) since these cities have similar diseases such as high rates of heart disease and obesity. Therefore there is a need to have physical activity programs for children and their families. We will collaborate with community centers to have this program available.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical Activity

The 12-month intervention will progressively increase in intensity and complexity to teach parents/children more complex sports skills and behavioral techniques, to prepare them to become future team leaders for nutrition education and sports sessions. In addition, the family Olympics events will take place after every 3-month to reinforce progression, social support; progressive improvements: Phase 1: Beginner (months 0-3) will focus on introductory concepts and basic sports skills and will focus on establishing consistent behavioral patterns and social support. Phase 2: Intermediate (months 4-6) will begin to introduce slightly more complex nutrition behavioral concepts and increase difficulty of sport skills, and reinforce behavioral patterns from phase 1. Phase 4: Advanced (months 10-12) will teach parents and children advanced sports skills ; nutrition knowledge so that they may become team leaders to help implement future activity sessions and nutrition education sessions.
