简要总结
Despite recommends that school-based interventions use a comprehensive approach for health promotions; most fitness programs exclusively emphasize physical activity. This study compared the comprehensive Translational Health in Nutrition and Kinesiology (THINK) program to a traditional YMCA program (The Sports, Play, and Active Recreation for Kids (SPARK) fitness curriculum) on measures of physical fitness, body composition, and executive cognitive function outcomes among 105 ethnic minority children (9±1.03 years old) following a 10-week intervention period.

研究组 & 干预措施
THINK
The Translational Health in Nutrition and Kinesiology (THINK) program will have education and fitness sessions lasting two hours, five times a week for a total of 10 weeks. Sessions will include theory, clinical laboratory activities, and physically active games to facilitate a fun environment to enhance physical and health-related fitness, improve nutrition and exercise knowledge and behaviors, and exercise enjoyment and self-confidence.
干预措施: THINK (Behavioral)
SPARK
This The Sports, Play, and Active Recreation for Kids (SPARK) group will receive the traditional YMCA SPARK after-school program. They will undergo the same pre and post testing protocol as the intervention group, but will not receive the THINK program.
干预措施: SPARK (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Percent Body Fat
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
Body composition and body fat was measured using the Inbody-520 multi-frequency bioimpedance analyzer.
Change in BMIz
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
A CDC growth chart statistical resource was used to calculate BMIz using height, weight, age, and gender.
Change in Visceral Abdominal Fat
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
The Saggital Abdominal Height was used as estimate of visceral abdominal fat using a portable anthropometer.
Change in Waist circumference
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
Waist circumference was used to measure central adiposity with a Gulick body tape measure.
Change in Aerobic Fitness
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
The National Institute of Medicine Toolbox two-minute Walk Endurance Test was used to measure aerobic fitness
Change in Grip Strength
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
Grip strength was measures using a Jamar plus handgrip dynamometer.
Change in Abdominal Strength
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
The one-minute curl-up test was used to measure abdominal strength and endurance.
Change in Lower Body Strength
时间窗: Baseline and 10 Weeks
Lower body strength, specifically for the quadriceps muscle group, was assessed with the wall squat test. A vertical jump test utilizing a Vertec. was used to assess lower body power . The vertical jump test data were used to estimate average power (W) according to the Lewis formula Average Power (W) = √4.9 x mass (kg) x √VJ (m) x 9.81.
