Parental Behavior in Relation to Physical Activity and Fitness in 9-Year-Old Children
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between parental behaviors and physical activity and fitness in elementary school-aged children. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey of students and parents. SETTING: Seven public elementary schools in a suburban southern California city. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred forty-eight fourth-grade girls and 149 fourth-grade boys and their parents. Eighty-four percent were white. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS/MAIN RESULTS: Children's physical activity was indicated by self-report, data obtained from a monitor (accelerometer), and results of the mile run/walk. Multiple regression analysis, controlling for ethnicity and body mass index, was conducted separately for girls and boys to explain variation in child activity and fitness. Parents' reported physical activity was not associated with child activity or fitness. However, availability of transportation by parents to sport and fitness activities was significant (or nearly so) in two regressions for boys and in one regression for girls. Parents who played with their children had more active boys, based on self-report, but verbal encouragement to be active was not significant in any model. CONCLUSION: The parental role as gatekeeper of access to activity and sport facilities deserves further study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
