Energy expenditure and enjoyment of instructor-led exercise videos for children ages 7-13.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Interrupting Prolonged sitting with ACTivity (InPACT) at Home intervention provides youth with access to virtual, instructor-led exercise videos to promote physical activity in the home. While this program has had statewide reach, there is a need to understand the efficacy of the exercise videos to (1) induce positive cardiometabolic benefits in youth and (2) promote exercise enjoyment in the home.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the effects of the InPACT at Home exercise videos on physical activity energy expenditure and physical activity enjoyment in children ages 7-13 years.

Methods

Thirty-nine participants ages 7-13 years were recruited to participate in this study. Participants completed five, 8-minute InPACT at Home
