Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to develop, evaluate and implement an intergenerational physical activity program for grandchildren and their grandparents using co-creation focusing on the promotion of (co-)physical activity as a primary outcome and cognitive functioning, psychosocial well-being, the family relationship, expectations regarding aging and motor competence in grandparents and grandchildren as secondary outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in co-PA in grandchildren and grandparents

  The primary outcome of the intervention is co-PA. To objectively measure co-PA, participants will be asked to wear an accelerometer (Axivity AX3) during three consecutive months. The purpose of wearing an accelerometer is to investigate whether grandchildren and their grandparents are more (co-)physically active when the intervention is adopted

  3 months (A: 2 weeks, B: 6 weeks, A: 2 weeks, B: 2 weeks)

• Change in intensity of PA in grandchildren and grandparents

  In addition to the primary outcome of the intervention, which is co-PA, we would like to measure the intensity of PA during each movement session with an accelerometer (Axivity AX3)

  3 months (A: 2 weeks, B: 6 weeks, A: 2 weeks, B: 2 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Change in general well-being in children

  During 3 months, every 2 weeks

• Change in quality of the family relationship in children

  3 months, pre, between, post intervention

• Change in general well-being in grandparents

  During 3 months, every 2 weeks

• Change in quality of the family relationship in grandparents

  3 months, pre, between, post intervention

• Change in cognitive functioning in grandchildren

  During 3 months, every 2 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Intergenerational movement program

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will receive the intergenerational physical activity program. There are 4 components, which consist of an educational session for grandparents and parents (1), group-based movement sessions for grandparents and grandchildren once a week during 8 weeks (2), home-based physical activities for both grandparents and grandchildren (3) and community-based activities for both grandparents and grandchildren (4).

Behavioral: GRANDPACT Project

Interventions

GRANDPACT Project BEHAVIORAL

To investigate whether grandparents and grandchildren are more co-physically active, have a better cognitive and physical function, psychosocial well-being, quality of the family relationship due to the intervention, we compare the intervention phase (B) with a pre phase (A), a in between period (A) and another intervention period (B)
