abstract = {Objective: To determine if the active methodology for improving sports
initiation (M.A.M.I.deporte®) shared between children and parents successfully
promotes children in sports activities, maintains their activity and improves
long-term adherence.
Participants: The study involved 118 participants aged between 2 and 11 years
(6.3 ± 2.3). In the first season, 34 participated (16 girls; 18 boys); in the second
season, 46 participated (22 girls; 24 boys) and in the third season, 38
participated (19 girls; 19 boys).
Methodology: It was carried out fromOctober to June over three academic years
for two hours a week. Every 4 sessions a different sporting activity was carried out,
planned so that parents and children could practise them, simultaneously.
Analysis: At the beginning and end of each period, a survey was carried out on
the sports activities in which the participants had started. If participants remained
in the activity, the survey was face-to-face and if participants no longer attended
the activity, they were contacted by telephone. Descriptive values were obtained
for the variables in absolute and percentage form and a repeated measures
anova was performed.
Results: Vigorous physical activity performed was 3.82 ± 1.16 h/week in the first
year, 3.38 ± 1.59 in the second year and 2.99 ± 1.46 in the third year with no
significant differences between any of the years. 32.20% joined other sporting
activities and only 6.78% gave up vigorous physical activity.
Conclusion: Joint activity of parents and children contributed to maintaining
vigorous physical activity at the recommended levels in the child population
with only 6.78% (n = 8) of the participants dropping out.},
