First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a flexible, adaptive program can help children ages 8 to 12 stick to a home exercise routine. About 38 kids and their parents took part in a 60-day program where exercise videos and support were adjusted based on each child's progress. The goal was to see if this approach could improve how much exercise kids actually do, since many children stop following home programs too early.

Inclusion Criteria: This study will include both males and females aged 8 to 12 years and their parent/guardian from various locations in Michigan. The investigators have chosen this age group because this is a critical age with physical activity participation declines (75% from the age of 9 to 15 years). To be included in the study, participants must: 1. Have access to a computer and internet at home. 2. Be proficient in English. Exclusion Criteria: Children will not be eligible for the study if they meet any of the following conditions: 1. Currently taking medications (e.g., iron, metformin, chemotherapeutic agents) that could impact their ability to engage in physical activity. 2. Previously diagnosed with conditions that could impact their ability to engage in physical exercise (e.g., uncontrolled asthma). 3. Answering "YES" to any question on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)22 indicating the participant has a heart condition, high BP, experienced chest pains or dizziness during daily activities, or require a doctor's recommendation for supervision during exercise. 4. Diagnosed with a physical or mental disability that would make it difficult to answer questions or follow directions without the help of an adult. 5. Parent or caregiver has a physical or mental disability that would make it difficult for them to answer questions or assist their child with project-related activities, such as completing questionnaires in the laboratory. 6. Potential participants who are ineligible will be told so on their screening call and will not be enrolled.
