Study Summary

This trial will explore if creating a family identity around physical activity can increase a child's physical activity levels over 6 months.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for families with at least one child aged 6-12 who does less than 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise daily. Families must live in specified areas of British Columbia and have no restrictions based on income or ethnicity. Children already meeting exercise guidelines or failing the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if creating a family identity focused on physical activity, combined with education and planning, increases children's moderate to vigorous physical activity more than just standard education and planning after six months.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves promoting physical activity through social identity formation within the family, there aren't typical medical side effects; however, increased physical activity may lead to muscle soreness or fatigue.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Identity formation conditionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This group will receive the same content as the education+planning comparison condition but with two additional coaching sessions. The session will include short overviews of the benefits of PA as a family, brainstorming how a family can each assist each other in PA, and an activity for developing a family PA action plan. Behavior change techniques that align with these approaches and are included in the coaching session include identity salience, identity similarity, as well as identity fit and contrast. This will be supplemented by an organization of fun family PA roles for all members (e.g., activity planner, goal setter, supporter, etc.) to instill involvement as well as items (creation of a family PA t-shirt, family PA photos and display, etc.) to instill distinctiveness, which is a central feature of a social identity.

Group II: PA education and planning conditionActive Control1 Intervention

This group will receive sessions and information-based booklet and series of worksheets that provide a tangible knowledge translation product for the family. The material will consist of Canada's PA guidelines recommending 60 minutes of MVPA a day and a breakdown of ways for the parent to help their child achieve this PA, outlining three main domains of parental support (encouragement, logistical support, and PA together). The material also contains information about the benefits of PA for the child and how to plan for family PA. The material specifically includes a brainstorming exercise for parents where they list physical activities they think their children have found fun in the past. The investigators will provide this material as prompts/suggestions. This list helps create the template for PA planning by contextualizing what the parents would like to do with their kids. An additional two sessions will include education and planning material related to family healthy eating.
