| Descripción: | The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of the program “Mothers in Movement” in the promotion of physical activity, the improvement of self-esteem, and the use of social support strategies, with the objective of providing tools to mothers to promote the practice of physical activity in their families. This is a quasi-experimental study with a sampling of 15 mothers in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The results of this study show that the women of the experimental group who were classified in average self-esteem showed an increase to a high ranking self-esteem, a significant increase in practice and enjoyment of physical activity. When analyzing the adoption of new social support, important changes were shown in the use of emotional, instrumental, support and modeling support in mothers. This study showed that an intervention program based on the ecological model, using the practice of physical activity as an instrument, contributes to the increase of self-esteem and to the use of social strategies to support the participants’ families towards active lifestyles, which is hopeful in the use of multilevel interventions in the fight against overweight-obesity and the sedentary lifestyle of childhood. |
