The new study reveals that short, fun training videos created during the pandemic still carry children, burn energy, enhance the ability and maintaining the exercise enjoyable from home.

In a recent study published in PLOS ONEResearchers determined the acute impact of the “interruption of prolonged inpact (inpact) at home” video exercise on paid activity (Paee) and enjoyment in children.
Youth physical activity programs had become a top priority during Crowning 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for behavioral interventionists working to maintain the well-being and health of children. Physical activity is one of the most effective means of promoting health, preventing disease and enhancing immunity. However, with the closure of schools that limit physical education and sports activities, there was a pressing need to investigate opportunities for physical activity at home.
Thus, he developed home at home during the Covid-19 pandemic. The intervention includes exercise videos led by the trainer to promote physical activity at home. These videos were designed to promote cardiovascular health through intermittent exercises, including cardio, mentality and sports skills. Improvements in childhood cardiovascular effects could reduce the risk of illness later in life.
Studies have shown the effectiveness of intermittent exercise to prevent excessive weight gain and improve cardiovascular effects in adolescents and children. Inpact at home was also designed to promote the enjoyment of physical activity, a key mobilization factor for participating and maintaining activity over time. Although inpact at home has achieved significant range, there is limited information on its short -term impact on the enjoyment of physical activity and Paee.
For the study
In the present study, the researchers examined the acute effects of screws at home to enjoy physical activity and pae on children. People aged 7-13 were hired in Michigan. A total of 41 participants participated and 39 completed the full study protocol. On the day of the experimental status in the study research lab, participants completed anthropometric measures, demographic questionnaires, warm -up, gym testing, five exercise videos and video control videos.
A three -minute pulses recovery test has been conducted to evaluate cardiopulmonary capacity. The basic PAEE was identified while watching a neutral -level neutral video without exercising physical activity. A 5-10 minute, six-minute self-regulating break and another break followed. Participants completed five eight minutes at home in exercise video.
Five videos were randomly selected from four categories: Cardio, Sports Skills, Power and Care. The subjects were asked to follow along with the videos with their best abilities. Paee was measured during periods of activity using a portable metabolic system. The enjoyment of physical activity was evaluated using a revised scale of physical activity enjoyment. A two -way analysis of the fluctuation of the evaluation of changes in the enjoyment of physical activity and Paee was carried out.
Findings
The study included 39 children (21 females and 18 males). 20% were Spanish and 15% were not white. On average, participants had good levels of fitness. The overall Paee was significantly different between video control and exercise. Participants spent significantly more calories during exercise videos than during the video.
On average, 22 kcal were spent per exercise videos, leading to a total energy expenditure of 110 kcal. All video categories resulted in a significantly higher paee than the control video. It is worth noting that there were significant differences in Paee between attention and heart, power and cardio and sports skills and videos of the heart. In addition, Paee was significantly different at age and gender.
That is, males and children aged 7-13 were spent significantly more calories during exercise by females and children aged 7-10 years. Specifically, while the overall enjoyment was not significantly different from all exercise and control videos, the cardio videos caused a significantly greater enjoyment than both attention and video videos.
There were no significant differences in the enjoyment of physical activity by gender. However, significant differences were evident from age. Children 11-13 years old had lower enjoyment during exercise videos than 7-10 years old.
Conclusions
The children spent 22 kcal per video exercise. Males and older children had older pae probably due to exercise intensity differences, body size and muscle mass. While the videos were generally effective, factors such as gender and age may affect the dose/amount of physical activity. All the children evaluated the videos as pleasant, no gender differences.
However, the study found that only videos of cardio produced higher evaluations of attention or control sessions, indicating that the results of the enjoyment may vary depending on the type of activity.
Because the study was conducted in a controlled laboratory environment, the authors note that the results may vary when children deal with home steps in real world video games.
These results indicate that inpact at home videos can effectively increase Paee and is generally regarded as pleasant by children, supporting their ability to promote physical exercise at home.
