Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Physical Activity
Actigraph activity monitors were used to record physical activity over 3 days, in addition to a weekly physical activity diary. Acti-graph counts were used to estimate energy expenditure during waking hours. Counts per minute describes the average rate of counts, with 0 being at rest and higher numbers indicating more vigorous physical activity.
3 days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Energy Intake
3 days
Study Arms (1)
Sedentary; usual, 25% reduced, 50% reduced
EXPERIMENTALThe initial 3 weeks of the study, children were asked to maintain their usual targeted sedentary behaviors (TV, video game, computer use) measured by a television reduction device (TV Allowance). The following 3 weeks children were asked to reduce their targeted sedentary behaviors (TV, video game, computer use) by 25% from the usual sedentary condition using a television reduction device (TV Allowance). The final 3 weeks of the study, children were asked to reduce their targeted sedentary behaviors (TV, video game, computer use) by 50% from the usual sedentary condition using a television reduction device (TV Allowance)
Interventions
A TV allowance helps turn off the television when the time limits have been met.
