“…In similarity with other studies [22,15] that have shown perceived benefits or a positive attitude to a behavior has a significant impact on changing behavior, in this study, educational program impact on the perceived benefits was positive. About the structure of perceived barriers the result was similar with previous research results [23]. And after the educational intervention, scores of perceived barriers to healthy eating in the experimental group had a significant decrease.…”

Poor eating habits are formed and stabilized from childhood and adolescence, so, if there is no intervention to correct it, the dietary habits can be the source of health problems in the future. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of education based on Pender`s health promotion model on nutritional behavior of high school girls. This study was performed on 128 adolescents (two groups of 64 students). The data collection tool was a questionnaire designed based on the Pender`s health promotion model. Educational intervention consisted of four 45 to 60 minute training session for students and a training session for mothers with teaching methods of lecture, questioning and answering and group discussion. The two groups before the intervention were not significantly different in terms of demographic variables and the mean score of behavior and model constructs. But after the intervention, the mean score of healthy nutrition behaviors increased from 14.12 to 15.29 in the experimental group. The mean score of some model structures such as selfefficacy, perceived benefits and interpersonal norms in the test group significantly increased and the mean score of perceived barriers decreased significantly. But modeling structure didn't show significant changes. The results of this study focuses on the effectiveness of health promotion model in changing nutrition behaviors. An increase in the perceived benefits and self-efficacy as well as a reduction in the perceived barriers to healthy eating are the strategies that can be the basis of the programs that are designed to promote healthy behaviors in adolescents especially in the school environment.

“…The participants acknowledged that families with single-parent homes introduced a barrier to physical activity, due in part to differing rules in each home, limited time, and inability to share parental responsibilities (Puglisi et al, 2010). The results of this study are strengthened through the work of Moore, Robinson, Rachel & Boss (2014), who also highlighted the family structure as an important component of the physical activity equation (Moore et al, 2014) state within the United States of America, with high rates of childhood obesity. Using the Barriers to Physical Activity Scale, a 21-item Likert-scale instrument to measure students' total level of perceived barriers to engage in physical activity, the researchers reported that singleparent compared to dual-parent/guardian households were determined to be a significant predictor of high versus low total barrier scores.…”

“…Using the Barriers to Physical Activity Scale, a 21-item Likert-scale instrument to measure students' total level of perceived barriers to engage in physical activity, the researchers reported that singleparent compared to dual-parent/guardian households were determined to be a significant predictor of high versus low total barrier scores. The children in single-parent households had increased odds (Odds Ratio = 0.268, 95% CI: 1.004, 7.134) of reporting more perceived barriers to physical activity compared to their dual-parent/guardian counterparts (Moore et al, 2014). Family dynamics, therefore, appear to influence the perceived barriers to engagement in physical activity among children.…”

Childhood obesity is a public health concern that threatens the health and well-being of children worldwide and is associated with several of their chronic health conditions. Although a positive energy balance leads to excess body weight in children, there are several factors that influence their weight status. Dietary intake and physical activity greatly contribute to the energy balance in children. Mental health is also associated with their weight status and physical activity. Further, race and ethnicity, family structure, and the built environment contribute to the amount of physical activity achieved by children. One purpose of the current review is to summarize the connection between physical activity and weight status in children, and highlight key factors influencing this relationship, such as mental health and race, ethnicity, family structure and the built environment. Another purpose of this review is to highlight interventions and policies that may influence the relationship between physical activity and weight status in children. Policies that influence the surrounding environment may enhance children’s accessibility for physical activity and affect neighborhood safety, the density of supermarkets and commercial physical activity facilities available, as well as the provision of structured physical activity opportunities for children. Policies that influence the school environment also provide the opportunity to facilitate additional physical activity for students. Therefore, the overall purpose of this review is to discuss the many factors that influence weight status in children and provide ideas for future research.

“…Los participantes reconocieron que las familias con hogares con un solo padre o madre representaron una barrera a la actividad física, debido en parte a las diferentes reglas en cada hogar, el tiempo limitado y la incapacidad para compartir las responsabilidades de los padres (Puglisi et al, 2010). Los resultados de este estudio se refuerzan con el trabajo de Moore, Robinson, Rachel & Boss (2014), quienes también destacaron la estructura familiar como un componente importante de la ecuación de actividad física (Moore et al, 2014). Los investigadores intentaron identificar las barreras con un estilo de vida saludable en una escuela primaria de Mississippi, un estado de los Estados Unidos de América con altas tasas de obesidad infantil.…”

“…Mediante el uso de la Escala de barreras para la actividad física, un instrumento con 21 puntos según la escala Likert para medir el nivel total de las barreras percibidas por los estudiantes para participar en la actividad física, los investigadores informaron que los padres solteros, en comparación con hogares de dos padres, fueron un predictor significativo para tener una puntuación alta en la barrera total. Los niños en hogares con un solo padre o madre tuvieron mayor probabilidad (proporción de probabilidades = 0.268, IC 95%: 1.004, 7.134) de tener más barreras percibidas para la actividad física en comparación con los hogares con dos padres/tutores (Moore et al, 2014). La dinámica familiar, por lo tanto, parece influir en las barreras percibidas para la participación de los niños en la actividad física.…”

La obesidad infantil es una preocupación en materia de salud pública que amenaza la salud y el bienestar de los niños en todo el mundo y que se relaciona con varias condiciones crónicas de salud en ese grupo. Aunque el equilibrio energético positivo conlleve a un exceso de peso corporal en los niños, hay varios factores que influyen en su estado de peso. El consumo de alimentos y la actividad física contribuyen en gran medida al equilibrio energético de los niños. La salud mental también se relaciona con su estado de peso y actividad física. Además, la raza y el origen étnico, la estructura familiar, así como el ambiente construido contribuyen a la cantidad de actividad física que practican los niños. Uno de los objetivos de esta revisión es resumir la conexión entre la actividad física y el estado de peso en los niños y resaltar los factores clave que influyen en esta relación, tales como la salud mental y la raza, el origen étnico, la estructura familiar y el ambiente construido. Otro objetivo es resaltar las intervenciones y las políticas que pueden influir en la relación entre la actividad física y el estado de peso en los niños. Las políticas que influyen en el entorno pueden mejorar la accesibilidad a actividades físicas por parte de los niños y afectar la seguridad, la densidad de los supermercados y las instalaciones comerciales de actividad física disponibles en los vecindarios, y el suministro de oportunidades estructuradas de actividad física para los niños. Las políticas que influyen en el entorno escolar también brindan oportunidades para facilitar la actividad física adicional en los estudiantes. Por lo tanto, el propósito general de esta revisión es estudiar los muchos factores que influyen en el estado de peso de los niños y proporcionar ideas para futuras investigaciones.
