Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
12-week Intervention. Parents of participants will receive a video weekly for 12 weeks. The 2-minute long animated video will provide information on the fundamental motor skills and physical activity as well as break down how to teach one skill and provide ideas for games that can be used to practice the skill. The videos have been created specifically for this study.
Once they have received the video parents are then expected to demonstrate and practice the skill with their child. They will keep a log book of their activities tracking how long they practice each skill. The time spent on each skill is up to the discretion of the caregiver as the research team would like to see the effectiveness of the program in a real world setting. There are no strategies to assess adherence to the videos other than parents self report of having watched it in in their logbooks

Summary
Brief summary
This project will involve a FMS program that will be implemented with the parents of children enrolled at the UNSW Early Years Childcare Centres. FUN MOVES will be a randomised controlled trial in preschool aged children to be conducted over a 12-week period with fundamental motor skill testing to be completed at the beginning and end of the 12 weeks. Parents of children in the control group will be offered the videos free of charge at the end of the study. Therefore, initially the control groups will be allocated as wait list for the program.
The primary outcome measure will be FMS measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development 2 (TGMD-2). Secondary outcome measures include both perceived and actual physical activity (PA) levels and anthropometric data (BMI).
