Prior interventions have shown limited efficacy in increasing the number of adolescents engaging in adequate physical activity (PA). Preliminary evidence suggests acceptance-based behavioral treatments (ABTs) may increase PA; however, this approach has not been tested in adolescents. This was a nonrandomized experimental pilot study that examined feasibility, acceptability, and treatment outcomes of a school-based, acceptance-based behavioral intervention for PA. Adolescents ( = 20) with low activity received a PA tracking device and were allocated to device use only or device use plus 10-weeks of ABT. PA, cardiovascular fitness, and physiological outcomes were measured pre- and postintervention. The intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable. PA, cardiovascular fitness, and physiological outcomes improved over time in the intervention group, but not in the comparison condition. This study demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary treatment efficacy based on effect sizes for an acceptance-based behavioral intervention to increase PA in adolescents.
先前的干预措施在增加参与充足体育活动(PA)的青少年数量方面显示出有限的效果。初步证据表明,基于接纳的行为疗法(ABT)可能会增加体育活动量;然而,这种方法尚未在青少年中进行测试。这是一项非随机实验性试点研究,旨在检验一种基于学校的、基于接纳的体育活动行为干预措施的可行性、可接受性和治疗效果。活动量低的青少年(n = 20)获得了一个体育活动追踪设备,并被分配到仅使用设备组或使用设备加10周ABT组。在干预前后测量了体育活动量、心血管健康状况和生理指标。结果发现该干预措施是可行且可接受的。干预组的体育活动量、心血管健康状况和生理指标随时间有所改善,但在对照组中没有。本研究基于效应量证明了一种基于接纳的行为干预措施在增加青少年体育活动量方面的可行性、可接受性和初步治疗效果。
