The purpose of this study is to examine physical activity habit formation in parents and if this can increase moderate to vigorous physical activity behavior in their children over six months.The Primary Research Question is:
Does the habit formation condition result in increased moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity of the child compared to the control (education) and education + planning conditions at six months? Hypothesis: Child physical activity will be higher for the habit formation condition in comparison to the more standard physical activity education and planning conditions at six months.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard education control group | No Intervention | The control group package will consist of Canada's PA guidelines recommending 180 min per week for young children, transitioning to 60 minutes of activity a day for children at five and a breakdown of ways for the parent to help their child achieve this PA (unstructured, endurance, strength, activities) commensurate with this guide. The guide also contains arguments and information about the benefits of PA. | |
| Physical activity planning intervention | Other | The physical activity planning intervention condition will receive the same guidelines as the standard education control group but will also be provided with family physical activity planning material. This material will include workbook on how to plan for family physical activity; brainstorming exercise for children where they list physical activities that they have found fun in the past, as well as activities that they would find enjoyable to do as a family. |
|
| Habit formation intervention | Other | The habit formation intervention condition will receive the same content as the education control condition and the physical activity planning condition but with additional material on creating physical activity support habits. The material includes a brief discussion of what habits are with some very straightforward examples such as preparing for sleep routines, or initiating to drive a car to work. A key component of the habit section will be based on planning for context-dependent repetition, with pointers on how to maintain repetition as habit forms. |

| Habit formation intervention | Behavioral | In addition to the control content and the planning content, this intervention will include material provided to the family that assists with creating physical activity support habits. The material contains a discussion of what habits are, straightforward examples, planning and pointers for forming habits. A key component of the habit intervention will be planning for context-dependent repetition. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in children's physical activity to 6 months | Children's physical activity will be quantified by accelerometry. Children will wear an accelerometer for a minimum of 6 hours per day for 7 days at baseline and 6 months. Additionally this measure will assess intermediate outcomes at 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline to 6 months in child physical activity by parent proxy self-report | The parent will complete a modified Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire to report physical activity of the target child to assess habitual moderate to vigorous physical activity at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months. Questions assess intensity, frequency, and duration of physical activity in an average week. Additionally this measure will assess intermediate outcomes at 6 weeks and 3 months. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in parent physical activity to 6 months | Parental physical activity will be quantified by accelerometry. Parents will wear an accelerometer for a minimum of 10 hours per day for 7 days at baseline and 6 months. Additionally this measure will assess intermediate outcomes at 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |

| Physical activity planning intervention | Behavioral | This arm will receive the control education content, but will also be provided with family PA planning material. This material will include skill training content (workbook on how to plan for family PA). The material includes a brainstorming exercise for parents where they list physical activities they think their children have found fun in the past, as well as activities that they would find enjoyable to do as a family. We also have Canadian parental survey data on the most preferred co-physical activities for children 3-6. We will provide this material as prompts/suggestions. This list helps create the template for PA planning by contextualizing what the parents would like to do with their kids. |
|
| Baseline and 6 months |
| Change from baseline in self-reported parental co-activity habit to 6 months | The parent will complete an adapted self-reported habit strength index for co-activity with their child at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Intermediate outcomes will be at 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline to 6 months in self-reported parent physical activity | As a tertiary outcome measure, the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire will be used to measure self-reported physical activity at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months. Questions assess intensity, frequency, and duration of physical activity in an average week. | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in self-reported parent-child co-activity to 6 months | Parents will complete a modified Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire to assess parent-child co-activity. This measure will be assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Intermediate outcomes will be at 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in objectively assessed parent-child co-activity to 6 months. | An accelerometer Bluetooth-enabled feature measures proximity detection, allowing for the objective assessment of co-activity between parent and child. Parent and child will wear accelerometers at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months to assess co-activity. Intermediate co-activity outcomes will be at 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in motivations (MPAC constructs) at 6 weeks | Tertiary Outcome Measure Motivations for parent-child co-activity will be measured using affective attitude, instrumental attitude, perceived capability, behavioural regulation, intention, automaticity and identity. These measures are all part of the Multi Process Action Control Framework (MPAC). | Baseline and 6 weeks |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in motivations (MPAC constructs) at 3 months | Tertiary Outcome Measure Motivations for parent-child co-activity will be measured using affective attitude, instrumental attitude, perceived capability, behavioural regulation, intention, automaticity and identity. These measures are all part of the Multi Process Action Control Framework (MPAC). | Baseline and 3 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in motivations (MPAC constructs) at 6 months | Tertiary Outcome Measure Motivations for parent-child co-activity will be measured using affective attitude, instrumental attitude, perceived capability, behavioural regulation, intention, automaticity and identity. These measures are all part of the Multi Process Action Control Framework (MPAC). | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in health-related quality of life at 6 months | Tertiary Outcome Measure Quality of life will be assessed with parents using the 12 item Short Form Health Survey. Change in health-related quality of life from baseline to 6 months (i.e., post-intervention) will be examined with intermediate time points of 6 weeks and 3 months as well. | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in parental competence at 6 months | Tertiary Outcome Measure Parental competence will be measured via the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale at baseline and 6 months with intermediate time points of 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
| TERTIARY OUTCOME - Change from baseline in family functioning at 6 months | Tertiary Outcome Measure Family Environment Scale is used to assess family functioning at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
| MANIPULATION CHECK - Change from baseline to 6 months in cue consistency | To examine the manipulation check outcomes, a 6 item survey assessing the utilization of context-dependent repetition/cues and consistency/repeated action is used. Changes in cue consistency will be examined at 6 months with intermediate time points of 6 weeks and 3 months. | Baseline and 6 months |
