Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Family physical activity PlanningExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Behavoural: Family Physical Activity Planning. The physical activity planning intervention condition will receive the same guidelines as the standard education control group but will also be provided with family physical activity planning material. This material will include workbook on how to plan for family physical activity; brainstorming exercises for parents & children where they list physical activities that they have found fun in the past, as well as some new activities they would like to try & skill training content to help with goal setting & tracking of physical activity.
Group II: Family Physical Activity Habit FormationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Behavioural: Family Physical Activity Habit formation. The Habit formation intervention condition will receive the same content as the education control condition and the physical activity planning condition but with additional material on creating physical activity support habits. The material includes a brief discussion of what habits are with some very straightforward examples such as preparing for sleep routines or initiating to drive a car to work. A key component of the habit section will be based on planning for context-dependent repetition, with pointers on how to maintain repetition as habit forms.
Group III: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
The control group package will consist of the Canadian 24 Hour Movement Guidelines recommending 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day for children. The guide also contains arguments & information about the benefits of physical activity.
