Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Exergaming intervention group
30 minutes of exergaming per session and 5 sessions of exergaming play per week for a 6-month period.
Exergaming intervention group
In addition to usual daily activity, the parent and child from each family will receive 3 game consoles (Wii, Kinect, and LeapTV) and various exergames (e.g., Nickelodeon Fit, Dance and Sports, Just Dance) with all necessary peripherals to play the games. Specifically, they will receive one game console and related exergames every 2 months to experience the variety of exergames and maintain interest in the games over time. Each parent will receive a booklet (established in our pilots studies) provides a standardized gameplay curriculum to play during each session, and attend training workshops at baseline and 3rd month in the PI's lab. The parent will be instructed to have the child perform exergaming at home for 30 minutes/session, 5 times per week, for 6 months. The games will be age appropriate for children 4-5-years-old. The games have been easy for children to learn and use in our pilot studies.
Traditional Physical Activity
Phone consultations and workshops for parents to offer 5 times, 30 minutes per session; traditional physical activity at home for 6 months.
Traditional physical activity comparison
Home-based behavioral (e.g., nutrition/PA) interventions for young children usually only target parent for multiple reasons. In this study, group workshop sessions will offered to parents at baseline, 3rd month and 6th month, including information concerning how to promote PA and reduce sedentary behaviors. Identical curricular contents (e.g., dance/sports) for home PA will be offered to parents at baseline and 3rd month in the PI's lab. Parents will also learn about PA and sedentary behavior and their impact on health and cognition. Meanwhile, the intervention staff will encourage parents to increase their lifestyle activity such as taking stairs instead of the elevator and housecleaning. Parents will also learn to shape their child and their PA and sedentary behaviors to attain the following goals: 2 hour or less screen time and at least 180 min. PA per day for children; and at least 150 min. moderate PA for parents per week.
Attention control group
Continue with usual activities at home with emailed physical activity tips.
