GLOBAL NEED/PROBLEM

Childhood and teen obesity rates nationally are more than three times what they were in 1980. Children living sedentary lifestyles contribute to the rise in the number of obesity rates. (Myers et al., 2010).

People with lower amounts of physical activity are more likely to develop cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, as well as other health factors (Warburton et al., 2006).

Target population = Children Independent variable = Education

THEORETICALLY DEFINING LIFELONG PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

We define lifelong physical activity in children as children engaging in activities that children can enjoy now and for the rest of their lives (Warburton et al.,2006). To promote required attitude, attention, action, and adherence (Churubini et al., 2009) of the children to physical activities that focus on long term lifelong goals (Bennett et al., 2013). A supportive environment is also important (Churubini et al., 2009).

Lifelong Physical Activity in Children:

Children engage in activities they can enjoy now and for the rest

of their lives

ActionAll elements of attitude that

individuals can control and use to successfully manage their

environment and become more physically active

(Churubini et al., 2009)

Adherence- Initiate, increase, maintain

-Using all the other components to stick with physical activity for life.

(Churubini et al., 2009)

Ecological Influences(Churubini et al., 2009)

- Individual- Social -Environmental

- Physical Environmental

Attitude- Positive thoughts

- Motivation

- Self-efficacy

- Enjoyment (Churubini et al., 2009)

Attention- Understand what it takes

- Staying focused - Clear goals and stratagies

- Trust the process(Churubini et al., 2009)

LOGICAL VALIDITY

We have logical validity because we created test questions that are linked directly with our four components (attitude, attention, action, and adherence) of measuring lifelong physical activity.

BEHAVIOR CHANGE MODEL

Behavior change models in health are used to develop healthy lifestyles. Behavior change models have become well known for their ability to explain health related behaviors. The use of these models in the area of health and physical education has grown with the hope that understanding behavior will improve the services offered in these areas (Behavioral change theories et al., 2013).

BEHAVIOR CHANGE: TRANS THEORETICAL MODEL

(Theories of Behavior Change et al., n.d.)

The Trans theoretical model proposes change as a process of six stages. The six stages of the Trans theoretical model are: pre contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance.

BEHAVIOR CHANGE: SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY We also implemented the social cognitive theory model

into our program. The social cognitive theory model suggests that people aren’t driven by inner forces but rather by external factors. Behavior can be changed by either personal factors or by environmental factors. Each factor affects each of the others.

MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES

Lifelong physical activity is measured by a change in attitude, attention, action, and adherence (Churubini et al., 2009) towards physical activity that focuses on lifelong goals (Bennett et al., 2013). A supportive environment is also important part of the measurement (Churubini et al., 2009).

INTENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL

The Intentional Development model is a multi-theoretical approach to guide lifelong physical activity. The Intentional Development model talks about five different components to guide lifelong physical activity: ecological influences and developmental areas of attitude, attention, action, and adherence (Churubini et al., 2009).

INTENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL (CHURUBINI, 2009)

INTENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

We will incorporate each of the components of Intentional Development Model (attitude, attention, action, and adherence) into the required physical activity categories for physical education curriculums: target activities, striking/fielding activities, invasion activities, net/wall activities, outdoor pursuits and aquatics (New Physical Education Standards and Benchmarks et al., 2007).

ATTITUDE

We will start with the basic component (dribble, pass, layup, and shooting) of basketball and we will progress slowly enough so everyone has the chance to become comfortable. We will work on a different component each day and leave Friday for fun basketball related games and activities.

Each day we will progress through each skill then play an activity/game at the end to reinforce the skill. All activities/games will be enjoyable, non-competitive games, so nobody gets discouraged.

 

Monday – dribbleTuesday – pass Wednesday – layupThursday – ShootingFriday – activities/games

ATTENTIONWe will use precise cues for each skill to make sure

they understand what they need to do and how to do it. We will also keep students focused on their own abilities rather than their follow students (non-competitive/personal improvement activities).

 

Example cues for basic dribble:

Knees bent

Fingertips

Keep low

Eyes up

ACTION

We will teach the students use a multiple-goal approach for each skill. Shooting example:If their actual goal is to make 8 out of 10 shots, we will have them set an easier goal of 4-5 first; so they don’t get discouraged when they can’t meet their goal right away. We will set up an after school basketball program for anyone that wants to get involved and improve on their basketball skills. We will use the same strategies as we do in the classroom.

ADHERENCE

During the whole week we will talk about the importance of lifelong physical activity and how basketball can be played the majority of a person’s life. We will talk about local opportunities for people of any age to participate in, (i.e. open gyms) and local tournaments that are held annually.

Example of an opportunity:

Morning basketball is held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 a.m. at the Manistique High School. It is open to everyone and ages range from 13 to 50.

EVALUATION DESIGN

EVALUATION DESIGN

INTERNAL VALIDITY

Internal Validity is the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause and effect or casual relationships. The key question in internal validity is whether observed changes can be attributed to your program or intervention and not to other possible causes (Internal Validity et al., n.d.). Link

We will know that it was our Intentional Development Program that changed the children and not other possible causes because we used a control group.

FUNDING AGENCY AND SHOW HOW THE MISSIONS ARE COMPATIBLE

Our mission is to promote lifelong physical activity in children through educationWe plan on doing this by incorporating our program into both the classroom and into an after school program.

Carol M. White Physical Education ProgramProvide grants to initiate, expand, or enhance physical education programs, including after school programs, for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Link
