“…33,35,36,[40][41][42] Selfmonitoring of a desired behavior is a core component of self-regulation as it precedes and supports one's ability to evaluate whether progress has been made toward an intended goal. 61,62 It requires deliberate attention to a behavior and the details of that behavior with documentation of these details over time. Research suggests that consistent self-monitors exercise more often, report less barriers to exercise, and achieve greater weight loss over time compared to those who do not engage in consistent self-monitoring of exercise.…”

“…Research suggests that consistent self-monitors exercise more often, report less barriers to exercise, and achieve greater weight loss over time compared to those who do not engage in consistent self-monitoring of exercise. 58,62 To increase adherence, self-monitoring should be limited to a single desired behavior associated with a well-defined goal. In addition, given the preference of AYAs for technology-based interventions, the use of smart devices (eg, phones, tablets, watches) may be a desirable method for tracking exercise and increasing adherence to exercise programs.…”

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer are at increased risk for current and future health problems and premature death. Given the known risks for increased mortality and morbidity, fostering the development of exercise behaviors that may target the specific late effects experienced by AYA cancer survivors is crucial for healthy aging. Exercise is particularly important in the mitigation of late effects as it alters metabolic pathways that ultimately influence the development of chronic diseases associated with cancer treatment in AYAs. Despite the importance of exercise, a large proportion of AYA survivors do not meet recommended guidelines for exercise. The current review summarizes the beneficial effects of exercise in AYA survivors, evaluates strategies utilized in interventions that have been developed to address exercise engagement, and provides recommendations for psychosocial strategies on how to improve these behaviors in this population. A total of nine empirical articles examining exercise interventions in AYAs with a history of cancer were included for review. While several exercise strategies appear promising, more research is needed to evaluate long-term influence of strategies on exercise engagement, as well as the interactions these strategies have on AYA exercise maintenance and health outcomes as they continue into adulthood. Future interventions should evaluate key psychosocial strategies to increase both short-and long-term exercise adherence as well as overall health benefits.

Parental Monitoring of Children’s Media Consumption

et al. 2014

Importance Although children's media consumption has been one of the most robust risk factors for childhood obesity, effects of specific parenting influences, such as parental media monitoring, have not been effectively investigated. Objectives This study examined the potential influences of maternal and paternal monitoring of child media exposure and children's general activities on children's BMI in middle childhood. Design A longitudinal study, taken from a subsample of the Three Generational Study, with assessments at children's ages of 5, 7, and/or 9 years collected from 1998-2012. Setting The Three Generational Study, a predominantly Caucasian, Pacific-Northwest U.S. community sample (overall participation rate 90%). Participants Analyses included 112 mothers, 103 fathers and their 213 children (55% girls) at ages 5, 7, and/or 9 years. Participation rates ranged from 67% to 72% of all eligible Three Generational Study children across the three assessments. Main Exposures Parents reported on their general monitoring of their children (whereabouts and activities), specific monitoring of child media exposure, children's participation in sports and recreational activities, children's media time (hours/week), annual income, and education level. Parental BMI was recorded. Main Outcome Measure Predictions to level and change in child BMI z scores were tested. Results Linear mixed-effects modeling indicated that more maternal, but not paternal, monitoring of child media exposure predicted lower child BMI z scores at age 7 years (95% CI, −.39 – −.07) and less steeply increasing child BMI z scores from ages 5-9 years (95% CI, −.11 – −.01). These effects held when controlling for more general parental monitoring, and parent BMI, income and education. Results supported that the significant negative effect of maternal media monitoring on children's BMI z scores at age 7 years was marginally accounted for by the effect of child media time. The maternal media monitoring effect on children's BMI z score slopes remained significant once adjusting for children's media time, and sports and recreational activity. Conclusions This study suggests that parental behaviors related to children's media consumption may have long-term impacts on children's BMI in middle childhood. The results underscore the importance of targeting parental media monitoring in efforts to prevent childhood obesity.
