The COVID-19 outbreak and related public health guidelines have changed the daily lives of Canadians and restricted opportunities for healthy movement behaviours for children. The purpose of this study was to explore how parents experienced the pandemic-related restrictions and how they impacted their children's movement behaviours. : Twenty-nine semi-structured one-on-one interviews were conducted (June-July 2020) with parents of children (5-11 years old) in Ontario and British Columbia. Interviews lasted between 24-104 min, were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically analyzed. : Findings emphasized various individual (e.g., motivation), interpersonal (e.g., parent work schedule), built (e.g., closure of parks) and natural environment (e.g., weather) factors related to children's movement behaviours. The findings highlighted the loss of structured activities and destinations for children's physical activity, and restricted opportunities for outdoor play exacerbated by shrinking childhood independent mobility. : Families are adapting to many pandemic-related challenges including adhering to public health restrictions, parents juggling multiple roles, conducting work and school from home, as well as exacerbating factors like weather. It will be important to continue to encourage outdoor time, support policies and practice that facilitate independent mobility, and develop centralized resources that help families in the maintenance of healthy movement behaviours.
新冠疫情的爆发及相关公共卫生指南改变了加拿大人的日常生活，限制了儿童进行健康运动行为的机会。本研究的目的是探讨家长如何体验与疫情相关的限制措施，以及这些措施如何影响孩子的运动行为。：2020年6月至7月，对安大略省和不列颠哥伦比亚省5至11岁儿童的家长进行了29次半结构化一对一访谈。访谈持续24至104分钟，进行了录音、逐字转录并进行了主题分析。：研究结果强调了与儿童运动行为相关的各种个体因素（如动机）、人际因素（如家长工作时间表）、建筑环境因素（如公园关闭）和自然环境因素（如天气）。研究结果突出了儿童体育活动的结构化活动和目的地的缺失，以及儿童独立出行减少加剧了户外玩耍机会的受限。：家庭正在适应许多与疫情相关的挑战，包括遵守公共卫生限制、家长兼顾多种角色、在家工作和上学，以及天气等加剧因素。继续鼓励户外活动时间、支持促进独立出行的政策和做法，以及开发帮助家庭维持健康运动行为的集中资源将非常重要。
