- An Examination of Self-Reported Physical Activity and Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Among Children with Obesity: Findings from the Children’s Health and Activity Modification Program (C.H.A.M.P.) Pilot Study Shauna M. Burke Leigh M. Vanderloo Anca Gaston Erin S. Pearson Patricia Tucker Salud self efficacy community Childhood obesity physical activity The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity is a global public health concern. Numerous experts have noted that comprehensiv e treatment methods are required to address this complex condition. The Children’s Health and Activity Modification Program (C.H. A.M.P.), a 4-week intervention delivered in a unique camp-based format, was developed for children with obesity and their families using a multid isciplinary approach. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the short- (i.e., 1-week post-intervention) and longer-term (i.e., 3-, 6-, and 12-months post- intervention) effects of C.H.A.M.P. on children’s self-reported: (a) task and barrier self-efficacy; and (b) home-based physica l activity. A secondary purpose was to determine whether task and/or barrier self-efficacy served as predictors of self-reported home-based physical ac tivity at any of these time points. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C; Crocker, Bailey, Faulkner, Kowalski, & McGrath, 199 7) was used to assess self-reported home-based physical activity and modified versions of the Self-Efficacy Scale and Barrier Efficacy Scale ( McAuley & Mihalko, 1998) were administered to children to assess task and barrier self-efficacy, respectively. Forty participants (36 different ch ildren) completed Year 1 ( n = 15; M age = 10.6; 53% female) and/or Year 2 ( n = 25; M age = 10.6; 56% female) of the program. Results showed that participation in C.H.A.M.P. was associated with significant increases in task and barrier self-efficacy from pre- to post-intervention, after which mean va lues remained significantly higher than baseline at the 3- and 6-month follow-up assessments. No significant changes were observed from baseline to any of the post-intervention time points for home-based physical activity. Linear regression analysis revealed that task and barrier self-efficacy explained between 18% and 34% of the variance in self-reported home-based physical activity scores. While task self-efficacy contributed more towards the pre diction of home-based activity at baseline, 1-week post-intervention, and 3-months post-intervention, barrier self-efficacy emerged as the predominan t predictor at 6- and 12-months post-intervention. These results suggest that efficacious beliefs to be physically active and to overcome physical ac tivity-related barriers may be important in the prediction of self-reported home-based physical activity in children with obesity. Taken together, the current findings also emphasize the importance of targeting self-efficacy as a first step towards increasing physical activity in this young populati on. 2015 artículo científico 1579-1726 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=345741428038 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3457 RETOS.
