It's having something that you've done it for
For-cause physical activity events reach many people. Little research has applied Self-Determination Theory to participants' experiences in for-cause physical activity events. This qualitative study explored participants' ( n = 18) experiences in 5K for-cause physical activity events and intention to complete future events. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Emergent coding assessed responses for themes. Constructs of competence a…
Participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program is associated with fewer barriers to serving healthier foods in early care and education
CACFP directors reported fewer barriers to serving healthier foods in child care centers. Still, cost and children's food preferences are persistent barriers to serving healthier foods in ECE. Future research should evaluate characteristics of CACFP participation that may alleviate these barriers, and whether barriers emerge or persist following 2017 rule changes to CACFP nutrition standards
Effects of a New State Policy on Physical Activity Practices in Child Care Centers in South Carolina
Objectives. We sought to determine the extent to which child care centers in South Carolina improved physical activity practices after a new policy took effect. Methods. In 2012, South Carolina adopted new mandatory physical activity standards within its child care quality enhancement program. This quasi-experimental study used North Carolina, a state not making policy changes, as the comparison. Participants were 34 child care centers in South C…
The Evolving Definition of "Sedentary"
In Brief Studies that did not directly measure sedentary behavior often have been used to draw conclusions about the health effects of sedentariness. Future claims about the effects of sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous activities on health outcomes should be supported by data from studies in which all levels of physical activity are differentiated clearly and measured independently. Most epidemiological studies assessing the health effec…
Motor Skill Performance and Physical Activity in Preschool Children
Children with better‐developed motor skills may find it easier to be active and engage in more physical activity (PA) than those with less‐developed motor skills. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motor skill performance and PA in preschool children. Participants were 80 three‐ and 118 four‐year‐old children. The Children's Activity and Movement in Preschool Study (CHAMPS) Motor Skill Protocol was used to assess pr…
