SWITCH-ing Quality Physical Education to Multicomponent Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs
Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs (CSPAP) coordinate physical activity opportunities for school-age children through physical education, programs offered before/after school and during the school day, and those facilitated through staff involvement and community engagement. An active school is considered to implement quality physical education and one additional CSPAP component. This paper aims to describe evidence-based school init…
Construct Validity of an Obesity Risk Screening Tool in Two Age Groups
Home environment influences child health, but the impact varies as children move into adolescence. The Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) screening tool has been used to evaluate home environments, but studies have not compared the utility of the tool in different age groups. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of the FNPA tool in first and tenth grade samples. Parents of first grade ( n = 250) and tenth grade ( n = 9…
Parenting Styles and Home Obesogenic Environments
Parenting behaviors are known to have a major impact on childhood obesity but it has proven difficult to isolate the specific mechanism of influence. The present study uses Baumrind's parenting typologies (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) to examine associations between parenting styles and parenting practices associated with childhood obesity. Data were collected from a diverse sample of children (n = 182, ages 7-10) in an urban sch…
Influence of socio-economic status on habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior in 8- to 11-year old children
Children from a low SES show a trend of lower PA levels and spend more time in sedentary behavior than high SES children; however, differences in PA were influenced by BMI. The higher BMI in these children might be another factor contributing to increased health risks among low SES children compared to children from with a higher SES
The Role of Peer Social Network Factors and Physical Activity in Adolescent Girls
Frequency of PA with friends was an important correlate of PA among the peer network variables for adolescent girls
