Subjectivity Exploration for Physical Activity of Children with Developmental Disabilities based on the Self-determination Theory

This nonblinded randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of a physical activity (PA) intervention underpinned by self-determination theory. Participants (N = 31, mean age 69 years [SD = 4.9]) diagnosed with bowel polyps were randomized to an active lifestyle program (ALP; n = 17) or standard care (n = 14). ALP received supervised exercise and counseling for 6 months. Both groups were followed up at 12 months. Outcomes were change in PA and behavioral regulation. Data were analyzed with intention to treat. At 6 months, differences were observed for behavioral regulation in favor of ALP (p < .05). PA differences were significant for leisure, walking, and vigorous in favor of ALP (p < .05). The self-determination theory can be an effective strategy for promoting PA behavior change in this population, but a larger trial is needed to further explore the utility of the self-determination theory in this context.

Intention To Continue

The purpose of this study, based on the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) was to test the prediction power of student's responsibility, psychological mediators, intrinsic motivation and the importance attached to physical education in the intention to continue to practice some form of physical activity and/or sport, and the possible relationships that exist between these variables. We used a sample of 482 adolescent students in physical education classes, with a mean age of 14.3 years, which were measured for responsibility, psychological mediators, sports motivation, the importance of physical education and intention to be physically active. We completed an analysis of structural equations modelling. The results showed that the responsibility positively predicted psychological mediators, and this predicted intrinsic motivation, which positively predicted the importance students attach to physical education, and this, finally, positively predicted the intention of the student to continue doing sport. Results are discussed in relation to the promotion of student's responsibility towards a greater commitment to the practice of physical exercise.

Activity Restrictions

Physical activity restrictions can be particularly difficult for children with hemophilia and their parents, as most children want to engage in the same activities as their friends or siblings. This study aimed to assess parents’ need for a booklet on how to manage physical activity restrictions based on the self-determination theory and gather their suggestions for the booklet’s improvement in a focus group. Data were analyzed using thematic analyses to highlight to what extent the needs of parents were met by the booklet, as well as their suggestions for improvement. A discussion on the methodology of the booklet’s creation is also presented.

Internal Barriers

Adults with disabilities are 57% less physically active than individuals without disabilities and two times as likely to be obese. With obesity, adults with disabilities also face increased risk of comorbid disabilities stemming from obesity. The purpose of this theoretical case study was to identify key behavioral change theories which may be utilized to increase physical activity levels in adults with intellectual disabilities. The Self-Efficacy Theory and Self-Determination Theory both present constructs for understanding behavior change, and many of these constructs are interrelated which strongly suggests many behavioral change theories identify internal barriers for change. With theoretical case studies, these theories are examined within the context of adapted physical activity to depict how the Self-Efficacy Theory and Self-Determination Theory could be utilized to increase physical activity in individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Sobre Todo

El presente trabajo pretende hacer una revisión de la preocupante situación actual en cuanto a la práctica de actividad física en nuestro país y el problema que nos lleva a estar por debajo de la media europea, con los consiguientes problemas de obesidad que se derivan de esto, sobre todo infantil. Analizamos los programas de intervención que se están utilizando como el plan PIOBIN (Plan Integral de Obesidad Infantil) que propuso la Junta de Andalucía, con vigencia 2007-12, basado en una estrategia a nivel nacional denominada Estrategia Naos y distintos estudios que avalan que unas motivaciones intrínsecas hacia la práctica de actividad física ayudan a crear hábitos duraderos hacia dicha práctica. También realizamos un análisis de las distintas teorías que existen sobre motivaciones, basando nuestro estudio en la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (self-determination theory) de Deci y Ryan (1985, 2000).Palabras clave: Motivaciones intrínsecas, actividad física, obesidad infantil.Abstract: This paper aims to review the current worrying situation in terms of physical activity in our country and the problem that leads us to be below the European average, with the attendant problems of obesity, particularly among children, which follow from this. We analyzed the intervention programs that are being used as PIOBIN plan (The Andalusian Plan for Childhood Obesity), effective from 2007-12, based on a national strategy called Naos Strategy and how different studies support that some intrinsic motivation toward physical activity helps to create lasting habits to the practice. We also carry out an analysis of the different Motivation theories and we base our study on the Self-determination Theory of Deci and Ryan (1985, 2000).Key words: Sport; Leisure; Mass Media; Culture.

Abstract Overweight and obesity are one of the most important health problems worldwide. Physical inactivity is indicated as one of the most determining factors of overweight and obesity. The Self-Determination Theory points out the importance of motivation in the patterns related to physical activity. The aims of this study were to show the reasons for performing and the methods of a randomised controlled trial o evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary physical activity programme to promote physical activity levels in inactive school children and encourage healthy lifestyles, carried out under the Self-Determination Theory postulates. The present paper presents a RCT for adolescents of 1st and 2nd grades of Secondary Compulsory School. The multidisciplinary training program consists of two parts: the first part is cross-sectional, and the second part, the Physical Activity Program, is of a longitudinal nature. This project takes into account the socio-economic impact that a healthy lifestyle will generate, as well as its potential to apply the results and transfer them to the productive sector. This study is of great interest to the scientific community as it will provide relevant information on physical inactivity issues, sedentary lifestyle, generation of healthy habits and physical exercise.

BACKGROUND Unhealthy dietary patterns and insufficient physical activity (PA) are associated with negative health outcomes, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, overweight, and obesity. This makes the promotion of healthy dietary and PA behaviors a public health priority. OBJECTIVE This paper describes the development, design, and evaluation protocol of a Web-based computer-tailored (CT) dietary and PA promotion intervention, MyLifestyleCoach. A Web-based format was chosen for its accessibility and large-scale reach and low-cost potential. To achieve effective and persistent behavioral change, this innovative intervention is tailored to individual characteristics and is based on the self-determination theory and motivational interviewing (MI). METHODS The 6 steps of the intervention mapping protocol were used to systematically develop MyLifestyleCoach based on the existing effective CT PA promotion intervention I Move. The MyLifestyleCoach intervention consists of 2 modules: I Move, which is aimed at promoting PA, and I Eat, which is aimed at promoting healthy eating. Development of the I Eat module was informed by the previously developed I Move. Both modules were integrated to form the comprehensive MyLifestyleCoach program. Furthermore, I Move was slightly adapted, for example, the new Dutch PA guidelines were implemented. A randomized controlled trial consisting of an intervention condition and waiting list control group will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on diet and PA. RESULTS Self-reported measures take place at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after baseline. Enrollment started in October 2018 and will be completed in June 2020. Data analysis is currently under way, and the first results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2020. CONCLUSIONS MyLifestyleCoach is one of the first interventions to translate and apply self-determination theory and techniques from MI in Web-based computer tailoring for an intervention targeting PA and dietary behavior. Intervention mapping served as a blueprint for the development of this intervention. We will evaluate whether this approach is also successful in promoting eating healthier and increasing PA using an randomized controlled trial by comparing the intervention to a waiting list control condition. The results will provide an insight into the short- and long-term efficacy and will result in recommendations for the implementation and promotion of healthy eating and PA among adults in the Netherlands.
