Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will engage in a one-week weight-management summer camp consisting of different activities related to moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and healthy eating. MVPA will consist of modifiable games and activities using a variety of equipment familiar to children of this age, such as balls, hula-hoops, Frisbees, etc., in both competitive and cooperative formats that keep participants moving at all times, and emphasize a feeling of play as opposed to a feeling of exercise. Healthy eating activities are composed of varying classroom-style learning and practical application of knowledge to topics such as recommendations from the MyPlate.gov website, the different types of food groups, and caloric intake and portion sizes, among other various topics.
