Abstract：
Numerous youth summer programs focus upon physical fitness, nutritional health, psychological well-being, or education. Few, however, have integrated all of these elements into a single program. The Translational Health in Nutrition and Kinesiology (THINK) program provides an integrative nutrition and exercise science curriculum that is interfaced with social emotional learning (SEL) and STEM education to enhance healthy behaviors in youth. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the THINK program could improve physical fitness, nutrition habits, SEL, and STEM education in a 6-week summer program covering a 3-year period. Participants from South Miami were enrolled in THINK (n = 108, 58 males, 50 females, 12.03 + 0.56 years). Physical fitness assessments, the Positive Youth Development Inventory (PYDI), the Students\' Attitude Towards STEM Survey, and the Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (ADFH) were recorded at baseline and post-testing. Means and standard error values were evaluated for all dependent variables. Paired samples t-tests (SPSS version 27) were used to determine changes. Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (p < 0.001), power (p < 0.006), flexibility (p < 0.001), agility (p < 0.001), muscular endurance (p < 0.001), lean body mass (p < 0.001), ADFH (p < 0.001), and PYDI (p = 0.038) were found. An integrative summer fitness program can result in improvements in physical fitness, nutrition habits, and SEL in as little as six weeks.
摘要：
许多青少年暑期项目都侧重于身体健康，营养健康,心理健康，或教育。很少，然而,将所有这些元素集成到一个程序中。营养和运动学转化健康（THINK）计划提供了一个综合的营养和运动科学课程，与社会情感学习（SEL）和STEM教育相结合，以增强青少年的健康行为。这项研究的目的是确定思维计划是否可以提高身体素质，营养习惯,SEL,和STEM教育，为期6周的夏季课程，为期3年。来自南迈阿密的参与者参加了THINK(n=108，58名男性，50名女性,12.03+0.56年）。身体健康评估，积极青年发展清单(PYDI)，学生对STEM调查的态度，在基线和测试后记录青少年饮食习惯清单(ADFH).评估所有因变量的平均值和标准误差值。使用配对样本t检验(SPSS版本27)来确定变化。心肺功能的改善（p<0.001），功率（p<0.006），柔韧性（p<0.001），敏捷性(p<0.001)，肌肉耐力（p<0.001），瘦体重（p<0.001），ADFH（p<0.001），和PYDI（p=0.038）被发现。综合的夏季健身计划可以改善身体素质，营养习惯,和SEL在短短六周内。
