Objectives:
To assess the efficacy of the BOUNCE parent-daughter intervention in promoting selected physical fitness measures and activity.
Methods:
Thirty-seven Latino and African American parent-daughter pairs participated. The intervention entailed physical activities, nutrition classes, and self-esteem activities. Child's height, weight, waist circumference, body fat %, blood pressure, physical fitness, and activity were assessed pre- and postintervention.
Results:
A repeated-measures ANOVA yielded significant results [F(4,26) = 793.003, P < 0.001]. Post hoc analyses demonstrated significant (P < 0.05) changes in BMI, waist circumference, physical fitness, and activity.
Conclusions:
The BOUNCE intervention was effective in promoting fitness and activity in minority girls.
