项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Physical activity in early childhood is important for numerous aspects of children's health and development. Preschoolers are thought to be very active but previous studies have shown that they are sedentary for the majority of time and not getting adequate opportunities to engage in active play. Experts have recommended strategies to promote physical activity in early learning settings and to involve parents in efforts to promote active living from a young age. Through early learning settings, we may be able to change behaviors in large groups of children and particularly benefit more vulnerable children who have fewer opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity at home or in their neighborhoods. However, meaningful engagement from families is also important and research suggests that there is gap in communication and perhaps alignment between educators and parents on the topic of preschoolers' physical activity. We propose research that uses wearable technology to monitor physical activity in children, motivate parents and educators to help create active play opportunities, and create a platform for communication and shared accountability about this important health behavior. We will focus particularly on children from lower income backgrounds who suffer from disparities in both health and educational outcomes. In the 2-year R21 phase we propose to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of a 6 month preschool-based, multi-level intervention to promote preschoolers' physical activity using wearable technology and incrementally intensive behavior change techniques to enhance engagement of parents and educators. In the first condition we study, preschoolers and their educators will get wrist-worn activity trackers called Sqord to monitor daily activity levels. In the second condition, we will study whether also giving parents activity trackers and weekly feedback reports about their own and their child's activity help promote more physical activity. Finally, in the third condition, we will add on training and coaching for early childhood educators to align the physical activity intervention with the metrics they are familiar with and evaluated on from an early learning standpoint. We will use the results from the R21 to inform the intervention strategies we include and test more rigorously in the 3-year R33 phase. Our primary outcome of interest is accelerometer measured physical activity. In the R33, we will also explore how changes in preschooler's physical activity relate to cognitive and behavioral indicators of kindergarten readiness, which are topics of great significance to early childhood educators, policy makers and parents.

项目概要幼儿期的身体活动对于儿童健康和发展的许多方面都很重要。人们认为学龄前儿童非常活跃，但之前的研究表明他们久坐不动大多数时间并且没有足够的机会参与积极的游戏。专家推荐了在早期学习环境中促进体育活动并让家长参与促进体育活动的策略从小就积极生活。通过早期的学习环境，我们也许能够在很大程度上改变行为儿童群体，特别是那些户外活动机会较少的弱势儿童受益在家里或社区里玩耍和进行体育活动。然而，家庭的有意义的参与是同样重要的是，研究表明，在沟通方面存在差距，也许在协调方面存在差距。教育工作者和家长讨论学龄前儿童的体育活动。我们提出使用可穿戴设备的研究监测儿童身体活动、激励家长和教育工作者帮助创造积极游戏的技术机会，并就这一重要的健康问题创建一个沟通和共同责任的平台行为。我们将特别关注来自低收入背景的儿童，他们在生活方面存在差异。健康和教育成果。在2年的R21阶段我们建议评估可行性，为期 6 个月的学前教育多层次干预的可接受性和潜在功效，以促进使用可穿戴技术进行学龄前儿童的身体活动和逐渐强化的行为改变提高家长和教育工作者参与度的技术。在第一个条件下，我们研究学龄前儿童和他们的教育工作者将获得名为 Sqord 的腕戴式活动追踪器来监控日常活动水平。在第二个根据情况，我们将研究是否还向家长提供有关他们的活动跟踪器和每周反馈报告自己和孩子的活动有助于促进更多的身体活动。最后，在第三个条件中，我们添加对幼儿教育工作者进行培训和指导，使身体活动干预与指标保持一致他们从早期学习的角度熟悉并评估。我们将使用 R21 的结果为我们纳入的干预策略提供信息，并在 3 年 R33 阶段进行更严格的测试。我们的小学感兴趣的结果是加速度计测量的身体活动。在R33中，我们还将探索如何改变学龄前儿童的体力活动与幼儿园准备程度的认知和行为指标有关，对于幼儿教育工作者、政策制定者和家长来说都是具有重要意义的话题。
