The effect of reinforcement or stimulus control to reduce sedentary behavior in the treatment of pediatric obesity . Obese children were randomly assigned to a family-based behavioral treatment that included either stimulus control or reinforcement to reduce sedentary behaviors . Significant and equivalent decreases in sedentary behavior and high energy density foods , increases in physical activity and fruits and vegetables , and decreases in standardized body mass index ( z-BMI ) were observed . Children who substituted active for sedentary behaviors had significantly greater z-BMI changes at 6 ( -1.21 vs. -0.76 ) and 12 ( -1.05 vs. -0.51 ) months , respectively . Substitution of physically active for sedentary behaviors and changes in activity level predicted 6- and 12-month z-BMI changes . Results suggest stimulus control and reinforcing reduced sedentary behaviors are equivalent ways to decrease sedentary behaviors , and behavioral economic relationships in eating and activity may mediate the effects of treatment .
