Parental factors may play an important role in influencing children's physical activity levels.
This cross-sectional study sought to describe the locations of joint physical activity among parents and children.
Parent-child pairs (N = 291) wore an Actigraph GT2M accelerometer and GlobalSat BT-335 global positioning systems (GPS) device over the same 7-day period. Children were ages 8-14 years. Joint behavior was defined by a linear separation distance of less than 50 m between parent and child. Land use classifications were assigned to GPS datapoints.
Joint physical activity was spread across residential locations (35 %), and commercial venues (24 %), and open spaces/parks (20 %). Obese children and parents performed less joint physical activity in open spaces/parks than under/normal weight children and parents (ps < 0.01).
Understanding where joint parent-child physical activity naturally occurs may inform location-based interventions to promote these behaviors.
父母因素可能在影响儿童身体活动水平方面发挥重要作用。
本横断面研究旨在描述父母和儿童之间的联合身体活动地点。
对 291 对父母-儿童(N=291)在同一 7 天期间佩戴 Actigraph GT2M 加速度计和 GlobalSat BT-335 全球定位系统(GPS)设备。儿童年龄为 8-14 岁。联合行为的定义是父母和孩子之间的线性分离距离小于 50 米。将土地利用分类分配给 GPS 数据点。
联合身体活动分布在住宅(35%)、商业场所(24%)和开放空间/公园(20%)。肥胖儿童及其父母在开放空间/公园的联合身体活动少于正常/体重儿童及其父母(p < 0.01)。
了解联合父母-儿童身体活动自然发生的地点可能有助于基于位置的干预措施来促进这些行为。
