Van Wasshenova, Emily; Boardley, Debra; Geers, Andrew; Tull, Matthew; Steiner, Victoria – American Journal of Health Education, 2023
Background: Affective associations have been shown to predict physical activity, but interventions designed to manipulate affective associations are limited. Purpose: To increase physical activity through manipulation of affective associations toward physical activity using the values component from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in…

Scott-Andrews, Katherine Q.; Hasson, Rebecca E.; Miller, Alison L.; Templin, Thomas J.; Robinson, Leah E. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
This study examines the associations of physical activity and gross motor skills in parent-child dyads. Parent-child dyads (N = 61, 84% mothers, children aged 8-11 years) participated in this study. Anthropometrics were self-reported through Qualtrics. Physical activity was assessed using accelerometers. Motor skills were measured through four…

McGowan, Amanda L.; Gerde, Hope K.; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Pontifex, Matthew B. – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: The present study examined the associations among meeting 24-hour movement behavior recommendations set by the World Health Organization (2019) and young children's self-regulation and quantity estimation skills in a sample of 123 children (n = 65 female; 4.9 ± 0.7 years) in mid-Michigan. Meeting screen time recommendations…

Beemer, Lexie R.; Twardzik, Erica; Colabianchi, Natalie; Hasson, Rebecca E. – American Journal of Health Education, 2021
Background: Understanding how and where children accumulate their physical activity (PA) and sedentary minutes throughout the day has important implications for behavioral interventions. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the duration and intensity of habitual PA and sedentary time (SED) at and away from school among preadolescent…

Clevenger, Kimberly A.; Moore, Rebecca W.; Suton, Darijan; Montoye, Alexander H.K.; Trost, Stewart G.; Pfeiffer, Karin A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
This study examined if accelerometer-based assessments of physical activity were responsive to changes in physical activity level commensurate with performing structured versus unstructured activity in youth. Youth (6-16 years; N = 206) participated in a simulated after-school program that included structured and unstructured games on four…

Ketcheson, Leah; Hauck, Janet Lynn; Ulrich, Dale – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Autism spectrum disorder is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States. As such, there is an unprecedented need for research examining factors contributing to the health disparities in this population. This research suggests a relationship between the levels of physical activity and health outcomes. In fact, excessive…
