“…• Among potential demographic correlates of physical activity, only child age showed a reliable negative association (median r = −.13) [59,218,[221][222][223][224][225][226][227][228], suggesting that older children and youth received less support than younger children and youth. • All social-cognitive factors assessed (attitudes, perceived control) were significant correlates of parental support in the medium effect size range [229].…”

Background: Children and youth who meet the physical activity, sedentary, and sleep behaviour recommendations in the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines are more likely to have desirable physical and psychosocial health outcomes. Yet, few children and youth actually meet the recommendations. The family is a key source of influence that can affect lifestyle behaviours. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process used to develop the Consensus Statement on the Role of the Family in the Physical Activity, Sedentary, and Sleep Behaviours of Children and Youth (0-17 years) and present, explain, substantiate, and discuss the final Consensus Statement. Methods: The development of the Consensus Statement included the establishment of a multidisciplinary Expert Panel, completion of six reviews (three literature, two scoping, one systematic review of reviews), custom data analyses of Statistics Canada's Canadian Health Measures Survey, integration of related research identified by Expert Panel members, a stakeholder consultation, establishment of consensus, and the development of a media, public relations, communications and launch plan.

“…The present findings have clinical implications because improving physical activity levels will facilitate the prevention of numerous health problems [20]. Parental perception also effects on children's habit on physical activity [21].…”

The Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing Physical Activity (SQUASH) measures physical activity. This is a paper-and-pencil assessment. An electronic version of this scale, namely, the E-SQUASH, was developed to address the limitations of the paper-and-pencil version (e.g., missing data, time-consuming data entry processes, delay in sending feedback) and facilitate the handling of population data. This was a scale validation study. The test-retest reliability of the scale was examined the reproducibility of its scores. The consistency between the scores yielded by the E-SQUASH and paper-and-pencil version of the scale was examined. A total of 104 university students (response rate: 77%) participated. Regarding reproducibility, the two sets of total activity scores were strongly correlated (r = 0.68, p < 0.01), and the 95% CI (0.56–0.78) was adequate. There was a high level of consistency between the total activity scores that were yielded by the two versions of the scale (Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.87). In this study, the reliability and validity of the E-SQUASH were established among university students. Further research is needed to convert this system into an application and translate its contents into different languages as well as across other age groups.

“…Research has suggested that parental beliefs about PA are directly related to child PA behaviors [3] and that the most effective PA interventions include a family component [4]. Questionnaires have been used to assess parental influence on the activity levels of their children [5]; children’s participation in organized sports, sedentary activities, and feeding behaviors [6]; psychosocial influences on children’s PA [7, 8]; and parental beliefs and attitudes about feeding and obesity [9].…”

Development of the Parent Perceptions of Physical Activity Scale (PPPAS): Results from two studies with parents of infants and toddlers

Physical activity (PA) is important from birth to promote health and motor development. Parents of young children are gatekeepers of opportunities for PA, yet little is known about their perceptions of PA. We describe the development of the Parent Perceptions of Physical Activity Scale (PPPAS) across two studies ( N = 241 parents). In Study 1, 143 parents of infants and toddlers recruited from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and childcare centers completed a 48-item PPPAS. In Study 2, 98 parents of premature infants completed the revised 34-item PPPAS. Study 1 principal components analysis (PCA) identified three components (benefits of, barriers to, and perceived influence on PA), and the scale was reduced. Scores for Perceived Barriers to PA were significantly different between groups, U = 1,108, z = -4.777, p < .0001, with NICU parents reporting more barriers to PA than childcare parents. In Study 2, PCA revealed the same components, and the scale was further reduced to 25 items. Three subscales measuring perceived benefits of, barriers to, and influence over an infant’s PA produced Cronbach’s alphas of .93, .85, .81, respectively. Results demonstrated sufficient construct validity and internal consistency of PPPAS scores, supporting its use in future PA research.
