Insufficient physical activity (PA) is considered a critical contributor to childhood overweight. Parents are a key in influencing their child's PA through various mechanisms of PA parenting, including support, restriction of PA and facilitation of enrolment in PA classes or activities. However, study findings are difficult to compare because instruments vary in terms of constructs, psychometric assessment and type of PA assessed. The goal of the current review was to identify existing PA parenting questionnaires and report on the validation of these measures through findings of their psychometric performance and correlation to youth's PA. The search of eligible studies was restricted to instruments with multiple items. Eleven unique PA parenting questionnaires were identified, and 46 studies that used these instruments were included. Extracted data include sample characteristics, as well as type and assessment methods of parental influence and PA. Findings highlight the tremendous variation in the conceptualization and measurement of PA parenting, common use of non-validated instruments and lack of comprehensive measures. The development of theory-based PA parenting measures (preferably multidimensional) should be prioritized to guide the study of the parental role in promoting child's PA as well as the design of family-based PA interventions.
身体活动不足（PA）被认为是导致儿童超重的一个关键因素。父母可以通过各种促进儿童身体活动的养育机制，包括支持、限制身体活动和促进参加身体活动课程或活动，对孩子的身体活动产生影响。然而，由于工具在结构、心理测量评估和评估的身体活动类型方面存在差异，研究结果难以进行比较。本综述的目的是确定现有的身体活动养育问卷，并报告这些措施的验证情况，包括其心理测量性能和与年轻人身体活动的相关性。合格研究的搜索仅限于具有多个项目的工具。确定了 11 个独特的身体活动养育问卷，其中包括使用这些工具的 46 项研究。提取的数据包括样本特征，以及父母影响和身体活动的类型和评估方法。研究结果强调了身体活动养育概念化和测量的巨大差异，常见的非验证工具的使用以及缺乏全面的测量工具。应优先制定基于理论的身体活动养育措施（最好是多维的），以指导研究父母在促进孩子身体活动方面的作用以及基于家庭的身体活动干预措施的设计。
