“…By a cost analysis, it was now possible to calculate that EXP for children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families are not always affordable. Although non-profit organizations already grant a number of discounts for families in difficult circumstances, swimming programs in particular take up a large part of the freely disposable income of a family on social welfare benefits [ 41 ].…”

“…The municipal parties involved should improve the financial access to offers that encourage PA by further optimizing prices for socially disadvantaged families. EXP are not easily affordable for families with financial difficulties [ 41 ]. There are good indications that financial incentives have a positive effect on participation in prevention or “lifestyle programs” [ 47 , 48 ], even with low-income parents [ 49 ].…”

Children’s motor development is socially unevenly distributed despite many municipal exercise programs (EXP). It has not been sufficiently investigated whether and how they appeal to children from different social backgrounds. This study investigates the use of municipal EXP in preschool age and the association between participation and motor development considering social circumstances. In school entry health examinations, parents were asked about participating in various EXP (response = 65.5%; n = 6480). Motor development, i.e., body coordination and visual-motor coordination, were assessed by a social pediatric development screening, and social circumstances by migration background (MB) and parental education (PE). Poisson regression estimated adjusted Incidence Rate Ratios (IRR; 95% confidence interval, 95%—CI) for relationships between social circumstances and participation in programs and participation and body coordination/visual-motor coordination. Children with MB (IRR 0.73; 95%—CI 0.71–0.75) and low PE (IRR 0.45; 95%—CI 0.40–0.50) used EXP less often. Children participating less often have a finding in body- (IRR 0.76; 95%-CI 0.63–0.90) and visual-motor coordination (IRR 0.47; 95%—CI 0.35–0.62). Significant effects were found for children with and without MB and higher PE. Municipalities should make EXP more attractive for families with MB and low PE.

“…Accordingly, parent surveys show that costs are a common reason for non-participation (Somerset and Hoare 2018). Also, a former cost analysis of our working group has calculated that physical activity programmes are not affordable for families with economic hardship (Weyers et al 2020).…”

Aim Despite consensus that prevention and health promotion need to address gender aspects and differences, not much is known about how boys and girls in infancy (or their parents) make use of existing non-medical community programmes. The aim of the study was therefore to analyse the extent to which boys and girls or their parents in distinct social circumstances participate in respective programmes. Subject and methods We conducted secondary analyses for two study samples: The COLIPRE Study includes (n = 6.480) pre-schoolers from Duesseldorf; the SKILLS Study includes (n = 637) pre-schoolers and school children from Cologne. Social circumstances included parental education, employment status, family status, migration background, mother language and neighbourhood deprivation. Prevention participation included programmes for a healthy diet, physical activity, child education and language development. We used Poisson regressions to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence interval (CI), adjusted for age, siblings and BMI, stratified for boys and girls. Results In both studies, we observed no gender differences in general participation. Taking a range of social circumstances into account, we found that boys and girls with specific disadvantages were underrepresented in programmes to promote a healthy diet, physical activity and child education. By contrast, boys and girls with a migration background participate in language promotion programmes more often than their German-native peers. Conclusion More effort should be put into developing programmes for boys and girls and their parents in difficult social circumstances.
