Associations of social and environmental supports with sedentary behavior, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in obese underserved adolescents

Abstract: BackgroundEvidence to support differential health impacts of sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is building. However, few studies have examined individual, social, and environmental supports across the full range of sedentary and physical activities, including key influences such as self-efficacy, parenting factors, and home and neighborhood resources. This may be particularly important in underserved (low-income, minority), overweight/obes… Show more

This is quite paradoxical in that as parents cite traffic hazards as a reason to drive their child(ren) to school, and by driving their child(ren) to school, they increase traffic volume near schools and the risk of accidents to children who elect to walk or bicycle to school [37].…”

“…A key environmental factor receiving research attention and thought to be associated with children's increased risk for obesity is neighborhood safety [7,9,26,39]. According to Lawman and Wilson [9], unsafe neighborhoods are thought to increase the risk of childhood obesity by limiting physical play outdoors and in turn, increasing time spent indoors and engaged in activities such as television viewing, videogame, and computer usage.…”
