“…Such approaches capitalize on the similar motives and challenges faced by women across generations related to physical activity and other lifestyle behaviors. 45 Programs such as those reported by Ransdell and colleagues 46 that have targeted middle-aged mothers and their teenaged daughters have found significant short-term (12 weeks) improvements in endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility among both dyad members, regardless of whether the program was performed in a community setting or in or near the participants' homes. 46 Other innovative approaches to family-based interventions need to be evaluated.…”

Such opportunities can capitalize on circumstances in which different generations naturally coexist or interact.…”

Abstract-In this review, our first purpose is to provide an overview of existing physical activity intervention research, focusing on subpopulations and intervention modalities. Our reviews within each area are not exhaustive or quantitative, as each area has been reviewed in more depth in numerous other reports. Instead, our goal is to provide a single document that provides a qualitative overview of intervention research that emphasizes selected topics of particular importance for improving the population-wide impact of interventions. Therefore, in synthesizing this vast literature, we begin with existing reviews of physical activity research in each area and incorporate in our discussions recent reports of well-designed individual physical activity intervention studies that expand the existing research base and/or target new areas of research. Our second purpose is to offer new ideas and recommendations to improve the state of the science within each area and, where possible, to propose ideas to help bridge the gaps between these existing categories of research. Key Words: AHA Scientific Statements Ⅲ exercise Ⅲ health behavior Ⅲ intervention studies Ⅲ metabolism Ⅲ motor activity S edentary behavior has been identified as one of the leading preventable causes of death, 1 and an inverse linear relationship exists between volume of physical activity behavior and all-cause mortality. 2 Moreover, participation in regular physical activity decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease, 3 type 2 diabetes mellitus, 4 osteoporosis, 5 depression, 6 obesity, 7 breast cancer, 8 colon cancer, 9 and falls in older adults. 6 Given the numerous health benefits of physical activity participation, various public health guidelines have been published on the recommended volume and intensity of physical activity for healthy adults. The American Heart Association, the US Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend at least 30 minutes per day of at least moderate-intensity physical activity on most, and preferably all, days of the week. 10 -12 Similar guidelines have been adopted for children, 13 although other consensus panels have recommended one 14,15 or more 16 hours of physical activity per day for children. The CDC, American College of Sports Medicine, and Surgeon General further state that physical activity may be incorporated into one's everyday lifestyle and that the daily physical activity requirements may be accumulated over the course of the day in short bouts of 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, the US Department of Agriculture hasThe American Heart Association makes every effort to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of an outside relationship or a personal, professional, or business interest of a member of the writing panel. Specifically, all members of the writing group are required to complete and submit a Disclosure Questionnaire showing all such relationships that might be perceived as real or pote...

“…Key strategies employed by successful family-based interventions include: i) teaching parents how to monitor their child’s PA levels by indicating on an activity data sheet when their child participated in PA based on set criteria [63]; ii) teaching parents to administer fitness tests and family contingency contracts, which were negotiated between the parent and child [63]; and iii) having parents encourage their child’s PA and exercise with their child [64,65]. …”

In this review, we identify the health benefits associated with physical activity (PA); address the physical activity and sedentary guidelines issued by public health scientists as well as children’s compliance to these guidelines; discuss the importance of motor skill acquisition during early childhood; and identify different settings that contribute to physical activity participation and strategies for improving PA in these settings. Results show that regular participation in PA during childhood has numerous immediate benefits, including positive changes in adiposity, skeletal health, psychological health, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Additionally, motor skill development during early childhood may have immediate health benefits as well as long-lasting effects in adulthood. Furthermore, the benefits of PA during childhood also appear to positively influence adult health outcomes, such as increased bone mineral density. Key environmental settings that have been shown to influence children’s PA behavior include child care, active commuting to and from school, school recess, school physical education, after-school programs, churches, medical settings, and the home environment. Recommendations for practitioners and researchers are discussed.

“…The perceived barriers listed by the BED participants could be addressed by simply designing a program based on more unstructured and fun lifestyle activities. Ransdell and colleagues designed a home-based intervention that significantly reduced perceived barriers to exercise and improved health-related fitness variables such as blood pressure and aerobic capacity [12]. Unstructured PAs were included in the intervention such as walking with significant others, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and gardening.…”

Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by recurrent binge eating without compensatory weight control methods [1]. Physical activ ity (PA) may be an innovative adjunct treatment for BED. Researchers have described PA involvement in BED indiv iduals throughout their life spans[2]. Significant differences in PA were found during specific time periods when co mpared to controls. Sign ificant differences were found for six perceived benefits/barriers to physical act ivity. The objective of this study was to apply qualitative research methodologies to enrich our understanding of the quantitative data. The interview part icipants reporting perceived barriers including social physique anxiety, health problems, co mpulsive issues, lack of fitness, lack of time, social barriers, and access. Perceived benefits included improved psyche, removal of frustrations, increased stamina, improved confidence and physical health. Emphasizing unstructured home-based and fa mily-oriented PAs and including enjoyable structured activities may increase adherence levels in BED indiv iduals.

Daughters and Mothers Exercising Together: Effects of Home- and Community-Based Programs

Abstract: Mothers and daughters responded positively to CB and HB physical activity programs. Home-based physical activity programming is a cost-effective means to increase physical activity and improve health-related fitness in these groups.
