Site
The FIT program’s primary site will be Shelby Farms Park in the city of Memphis, TN,

with the exception of traveling to alternate fitness facilities on certain days.

Decision Makers
The FIT program will be presented to Jen Andrews who will serve as the primary

decision maker because she is the Executive Director of Shelby Farms Park. The Shelby Farms

Board of Directors will also serve as decision makers in the implementation of this program. The

parents of participants will also serve as primary decision makers as they are ultimately in charge

of the activities that their children do and do not participate in.

Stakeholders
Stakeholders for FIT will primarily be the participants and their parents because they will

be the ones directly benefitting from this program. Parents will have interest in their children’s

health and reduction of unhealthy habits and the participants will be the individuals who are

changing their behaviors to better their own health. Other potential stakeholders may include:

High Point Rock Climbing Gym, Jumping World and Cordova Skating Center because there will

be field trips to these sites throughout the program which may potentially bring in business if

participants and their parents are interested in returning after the program ends.

Gatekeepers
Individuals who may prevent or delay implementation of the FIT program may include

Jen Andrews, the Executive Director of Shelby Farms Park. Jen Andrews is primarily

responsible for decisions being made regarding Shelby Farms and it will be up to her to decide if

the FIT program is a beneficial and appropriate program to be held at the park.

RATIONALE

Health Problem

Obesity is a growing issue in America that poses many health risks on our population.

According to the CDC obesity is characterized by having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30.0 or

higher in adults and a BMI at or above the 95th percentile in adolescents (CDC, 2018). Obesity

can lead to serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, some cancers and low

quality of life. A health problem that has posed significant risk to children and adults with

obesity is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD used to be considered a health

issue only for adults and the aging population but now studies have shown that 35% of children

with obesity have this disease (Larery, 2019). The CDC states that, “obesity is reducing our

nation’s ability to have a productive work force as well as the number of young adults able to

take part in the armed forces (CDC, 2019).”

Prevalence

The prevalence of obesity has risen so much over the years that it is now thought of to be

a global pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, worldwide obesity has nearly

tripled since 1975 (WHO, 2018). As of 2016, 13% of adults over 18 years old were considered

obese and over 340 million children aged 5-19 were considered overweight or obese. When

narrowing it down to national level, as of 2018, there were 20% of adults with obesity in all

states and U.S. territories. In 2015-2016 the prevalence of obesity among children in the United

States was 18.5% (CDC, 2019). This translates to about 13.7 million children ages 2-19 years

old. In 2015-2016 18.4% of these children ages 6-11 were considered obese. Further narrowing it

down to state prevalence, 30-35% of adults and 16.7% of children ages 10-17 had obesity in

Tennessee in 2018 (State of Obesity, 2019). Regarding local prevalence, The Urban Child

Institute states that nearly 4 in 10 middle school students in Memphis, Tennessee, are overweight
 Baptista 8

or at risk of becoming overweight (Betts, Imig, Hardt, Wells, & Joyce, 2006). These statistics

show that obesity prevention interventions should be a priority in today’s society.

Costs

There are both social and economic impacts of obesity. The economic cost of healthcare

expenses for obesity in the United States is $147-$210 billion per year (Cawley, 2012). That is a

lot of money spent each year on a condition that could be easily prevented. One of the social

impacts of obesity can be academic related. Poor student health as a result of obesity can be

related to a lower level of academic success and higher rates of dropouts (Li Y, Dai Q, Jackson

JF, Zhang J, 2008). According to the CDC children who have obesity can also suffer from

psychological problems, low self-esteem and low quality of life. Childhood obesity can also lead

to bullying and social stigmas (CDC, 2016).

Contributing Behaviors

According to the CDC weight gain can be influenced by behaviors such as eating too

many calories, participating in too many sedentary activities such as watching TV and playing

video games and not getting enough exercise (CDC, 2016). Processed foods that are high in

sugar, fat and sodium can increase risk of weight gain and obesity as well. The CDC also states

that factors like family history can relate to obesity. Children who grow up around adults who do

not have healthy eating habits are more likely to develop the same unhealthy eating habits

themselves (CDC, 2019). The behavior that the FIT program will focus on changing will be

insufficient exercise and participation in too many sedentary activities.

 Baptista 9

PRIORITY POPULATION

The FIT program is targeting obesity prevention in middle school boys. According to the

CDC children ages 11-14 spend up to 9 hours in front of a screen each day (CDC, 2018). It is

important to target this age group when preventing obesity because these children are spending

extensive, valuable time participating in sedentary activities when they could be outside playing

sports or doing other physical activities that will reduce their risk of weight gain and obesity. It is

anticipated that the FIT program will likely be successful in addressing these sedentary behavior

patterns in middle school boys because it will introduce them to new and fun, active ways in

which they can spend their free time.

Predisposing Factors

Predisposing factors are factors that relate to an individual’s knowledge or skills needed

to perform a specific behavior (McKenzie, Neiger, & Thackeray, 2017, p.49). Predisposing

factors that may affect middle school boys in relation to obesity are their knowledge and

attitudes about obesity and physical activity. Some children may not even be aware that obesity

is a serious issue affecting their age group. They may be unaware of the risks and causes of

obesity. Lack of knowledge, skills and confidence regarding physical activity may also be a

predisposing factor as some children may not be aware of what physical activity really is or the

benefits it may pose. If children are unsure of how to participate in certain types of physical

activity such as sports, then they may be less likely to play them.
 Baptista 10

Reinforcing Factors

Reinforcing factors are referring to the community in which the individual is surrounded

by and the behaviors that are being reinforced by the people in the community (McKenzie,

Neiger, & Thackeray, 2017, p.49). Reinforcing factors of obesity in middle school boys may

include friends and family. Children are likely to be influenced by their peers, parents and

families especially when it comes to food habits and physical activity. Middle school boys may

also be influenced by their peers who choose to spend a lot of time playing video games or

participating in other screen-related sedentary activities.

Enabling Factors

Enabling factors relate to the environment in which the individual lives and the

accessibility to resources or tools needed to perform a specific behavior (McKenzie, Neiger, &

Thackeray, 2017, p.49). Having too much access to TV, video games and screen time may be an

enabling factor of obesity in middle school boys. Access to outside physical activity may also be

a significant enabling factor if the child does not live in a safe neighborhood or if their

neighborhood does not have sidewalks or is located close to a busy street.

OTHER PROGRAMS

Home Sweet Home and Healthy Choices are two similar programs regarding obesity

prevention in children that were found and served as guides in the design of FIT.

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home is a childhood obesity prevention program that was delivered in 2

rural counties in a southern state. It was delivered in the form of three community-based
 Baptista 11

education sessions to 47 grandparents and mothers. The priority population were parents and

grandparents of preschool aged children. This program used constructs from the Social Cognitive

Theory such as: behavioral capability, self-regulation and observational learning. The parents

and grandparents were taught mindful eating techniques and self-regulatory skills as well as

cooking demonstrations so that they could reshape their own eating habits in order to act as good

role models to their children. The most successful strategy in this program turned out to be role

modeling mindful eating as indicated by pre/post-intervention data. Studies also showed that

participants did meet unhealthy food accessibility goals in their homes by limiting children’s

access to sweet and salty snacks and sugar sweetened beverages. This program was successful

because it focused on the household environment of these children rather than the school or

daycare environments (Knol, L. L., Myers, H. H., Black, S., Robinson, D., Awololo, Y., Clark,

D., Parker, C. L.,Douglas, J. W., & Higginbotham, J. C., 2016).

Healthy Choices

Healthy Choices is a multi-component obesity prevention program targeting middle

school children. Schools developed an obesity prevention curriculum, before/after school

activities, policy changes and a 5-2-1 health promotion theme. The 5-2-1 theme in this program

involved setting goals regarding healthy behaviors. Students were to achieve these goals by

eating 5 servings of fruits/vegetables per day, watching no more than 2 hours of TV per day, and

participating in at least 1 hour of physical activity on most days. The results of this program were

successful in which the percentage of students who achieved 5-2-1 goals increased and the

prevalence of overweight/obese students decreased as indicated from pre/post-intervention data

(Peterson, K. E., et al., 2015).

 Baptista 12

GUIDING THEORY

The Social Cognitive Theory is an interpersonal theory that involves the idea that a

person’s behavior, personal factors and environment are continually interacting to influence one

another (Bandura, 2001, pp. 14–15). This theory will be helpful when dealing with middle school

boys because children of this age are quite easily influenced by their social environments. The

key constructs within this theory are outcome expectations, self-efficacy, collective efficacy,

self-regulation, behavioral capability, observational learning and incentive motivation. Outcome

expectations is the belief about the consequence of behavior. Self-efficacy is one’s confidence in

their ability to do a behavior. Collective efficacy is a group’s confidence to bring about change.

Self-regulation is the process of controlling oneself. Behavioral capability is presence of

resources that assist in behavior change. Observational learning is based on watching peers or

role models perform new behavior. And incentive motivation is the use of rewards and

punishments to promote behavior changes (McKenzie, Neiger, & Thackeray, 2017).

Selected Constructs

The three constructs of the Social Cognitive Theory that will be used in the FIT program

are: Behavioral capability, collective efficacy and observational learning. The priority population

will be educated on physical activity and the risks of obesity by incorporating behavioral

capability in the form of knowledge-based training. My priority population will see their peers

and role models participating in the physical activity-related behaviors being promoted through

observational learning so that it will make them more motivated to try the new behavior in order

to fit in. For example, during rock climbing participants will gain the confidence to climb/fall by

watching others do it first. Participants will also build off of each other through collective
 Baptista 13

efficacy so they can become confident as a group that they can perform the desired behaviors and

tasks being promoted throughout this program such as group activities and sports.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The FIT (Fun Interactive Training) program will be a 4-week program designed to aid in

obesity prevention among middle school boys in Memphis, Tennessee from May 26 through

June 18, 2020. Knowledge-based learning sessions will be held in the Buffalo Room at Shelby

Farms and physical activities will be held outside at Shelby Farms Park as well as at different

fitness facilities in the Memphis area on certain days. FIT was designed based on the social

cognitive theory and it will likely be successful when targeting middle school aged children

because it is based on the idea that the way one acts is influenced by personal factors,

environment and behavior.

Childhood obesity is a serious and growing issue in the community. Did you know

that nearly 4 out of 10 middle school students in Memphis are overweight or at risk of becoming

overweight? Childhood obesity can lead to serious health consequences later in life such as type

2 diabetes and heart disease and not to mention it can also lead to decreased academic

performance and bullying.

The CDC states that children ages 11-14 spend up to 9 hours in front of a screen each

day! That is a lot of valuable time that children could spend playing outside! That is why the FIT

Program was designed specifically to help prevent obesity in our city’s middle school boys by

promoting fun ways to engage in physical activity.

The FIT Program, also known as Fun Interactive Training, is dedicated to educating

middle school boys on the risks of obesity and benefits of physical activity. FIT focuses on

promoting fun and interactive methods of physical activity in order to prevent obesity and reduce

sedentary activities.

The program will be held at Shelby Farms Park and it will include all kinds of fun and

interactive training, healthy snacks and sports as well as fitness field trips! Every Tuesday and

Thursday from May 26, 2020 until June 18, 2020, from 11:30am to 1:00pm, the FIT program

educators will be committed to helping students make fun and healthy lifestyle changes.
