Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined an exercise program aimed at healthy living for children with poor motor skills and their parents.Parent-child exercises were shown to be effective in improving children's lifestyle habits. We focused on parent-child exercise and exercise using music, which preschool children and girls prefer, and created an exercise program. The exercise program was examined by providing exercise instruction to children who were not good at exercising. It was found that exercises in which one movement was performed two or three times continuously and sensory exercises and exercises that subdivided the movements they had difficulty with were useful.
An exercise program was developed in collaboration with elementary schools and the community. The program developed into an activity that not only children but also their families could engage in, and a family-based health promotion program was realized.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、子供の生活習慣や運動の習得の実態を踏まえた、健康・運動プログラムの作成及び、地域・学校との連携体制の構築を目指した。コロナ禍が長期化する中、学校や地域とICTを活用して連携し、健康・運動プログラムを作成し、啓発活動を行った。子供自身が健康リーダーとなり、学校保健委員会や家庭における健康啓発活動を実践した。地域・学校と連携し、多世代が親しみを持ち、継続して取り組めるような運動プログラムの動画教材を作成・配信した。以上、家庭を基盤とした、生活習慣病の予防のための健康づくりを実現することで、社会及び学術的波及効果が期待できる。
