Resumo: |
The objective of this research was to verify parental influence related to the practice of physical activity, either by functioning as a model that also exercises, or reinforcing such practice through a system of tokens that can be exchanged for small gifts. In response to an invitation made by the researcher in a public school and a private school, six youths, four males and two females, with ages ranging from 10 to 15 years old, as well as their parents, volunteered to participate in the study. The criteria for participation in the study were: 1) The youth should be practicing less than 30 minutes of physical activity during most of weekdays, after school; 2) One of the parents be willing to participate, at any given moment of the research, for at least 30 daily minutes of physical activity with his/her child, and 3) Parent and child be able to meet with the researcher every three days, on average. The measurement of the physical activity involved a pedometer utilized by the youths throughout the week after school. The youths were instructed to complete a questionnaire daily, registering the type of physical activity performed, the time registered by the pedometer, the time spent in front of the screens, and parental participation in those activities. The participants were split into two groups in order to be submitted to the two sequences of conditions with the objective of evaluating a possible order effect. The results obtained during weekdays were analyzed separately from those obtained during weekends. All participants increased the amount of time spent on physical activity in relation to the Baseline, on both conditions of the research, independently of the order in which they occurred, and independently of the time spent in front of screens, which remained very high throughout the study. It was also observed that, except when the researcher gave special instructions, parental participation only occurred on weekends, generally facilitating their children s access to places where physical activities were most likely to occur. In the follow-up the levels of physical activity returned to basic levels for all participants |
