This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The overall goal is to find novel ways to increase physical activity and improve health in children. Being physically inactive is a major player in the development of a host of chronic diseases including osteoperosis, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Many of the antecedents of these diseases that present in adulthood, are often rooted in childhood--yet many children are not active enough to achieve basic health benefits. Therefore, there is a need to develop innovative and effective ways to reduce physical inactivity during childhood. We propose to pilot a novel intervention, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), which has potential benefits for cardiovascular fitness, body weight, and for bone health. The specific aims are to (1) assess the feasibility of DDR over 16 weeks in an after-school program setting; and (2) assess changes in body weight, body composition, cardiovascular fitness, and bone strength with DDR intervention.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 总体目标是找到新的方法来增加身体活动和改善儿童健康。缺乏身体活动是导致骨质疏松、肥胖和心血管疾病等一系列慢性疾病的主要因素。这些疾病在成年期出现的许多先兆往往植根于儿童时期，但许多儿童的活动量不足，无法获得基本的健康益处。因此，有必要开发创新和有效的方法来减少儿童时期的身体活动不足。我们建议试点一种新的干预措施，舞蹈革命（DDR），这对心血管健康，体重和骨骼健康有潜在的好处。具体目标是：（1）评估在课后计划环境中进行16周DDR的可行性;（2）评估DDR干预后体重、身体成分、心血管健康和骨强度的变化。
