Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomly assigned to the experiential group (EG) will receive a 12-week structured exercise that will consist of two group fitness sessions (i.e. kickboxing, Zumba, fitness yoga, and other aerobic exercises) every week. Certified fitness instructors will lead each session and participants will learn strategies how to be more active during the daily routines at home. Parents or other relatives in the EG will participate in one 2-hour session every four weeks (total of 3 sessions) designed to help them support their children and entire family in being active and eat healthy at home. Parents will meet with a fitness instructor who will provide specific tips on how to increase physical activity at home as well as providing community resources to be active. A basic nutrition education and cooking demonstrations, and healthy recipes will be also provided to parents at these workshops. Data/assessments are collected, pre and post the 12 weeks intervention.

Behavioral: Intervention

Control

Participants randomly assigned to the control group (CG) will receive once a week recreational structured group play/game sessions led by trained BOUNCE interns/staff. The control group will receive 60 minute of structured free play sessions (i.e. recreational games) once a week for 12 weeks. Every 4 weeks, parents will be given (either sent home with their child or via email or mail) basic nutrition information, healthy recipes, and tips to promote physical activity at home as well as community resources to be active. Data/assessments are collected, pre and post the 12 weeks intervention.
