The Effectiveness of Sweet Foods Specific-Inhibitory Control Training (SF-ICT) Aplication on Sweet Food Choice and Intake
The aim of the present study was to introduce the theoretical bases and stages of the development and effectiveness of Sweet Foods Specific-Inhibitory Control Training. This training was first designed as a mobile app to reduce the sweet foods choice and intake among children.
A single subject study with A-B-A design was used. Three primary school children with extreme obesity were selected by purposeful sampling. Measurement were performed using Food Craving Questionnaire-Reduced, Bogus Taste Test and Food Intake Test. Then, the intervention sessions were conducted in 7 sessions of individual training and follow-up was completed two months later. Visual analysis of graphs, trend index, stability, percentage of non-overlapping and overlapping data and effect size were used for data analysis.
The results showed that inhibition control training through this mobile application not only reduced the children's craving for sweet foods (d = 1.16), but also reduced the sweet food choice (d = 1.48) and sweet food intake (d = 1.48).
The results confirm the effectiveness of this application as a low-cost, short-term preventive and therapeutic tool for reducing craving, sweet food choice and intake among children.
