This study investigated how health-related quality of life (HRQOL) affected perception of parental support for physical activity (PA) in 529 children from the "Fun to Move@JC Project." They self-reported their HRQOL, PA enjoyment and motivation, barriers to PA, and attachment to parents in the first semester (Time 1) and perceived parental PA support in the second semester (Time 2). Mediation analyses were performed to examine the underlying mechanisms. Greater Time 1 HRQOL scores predicted higher Time 2 perceived parental PA support through PA enjoyment and motivation, barriers to PA, and attachment to parents at Time 1. The specific indirect effect via attachment to parents was particularly strong in girls, whereas the association of PA enjoyment with perceived parental PA support was stronger in boys. Our findings suggest that children with poor HRQOL may not perceive parents to be supportive of their PA. Interventions promoting parental PA support should emphasize PA enjoyment and benefits to attachment security for parents of boys and girls, respectively.
本研究调查了来自“趣味运动@JC项目”的529名儿童的健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）如何影响对父母支持体育活动（PA）的认知。他们在第一学期（时间1）自我报告了自己的HRQOL、对PA的享受程度和动机、PA的障碍以及与父母的依恋关系，并在第二学期（时间2）报告了对父母PA支持的认知。进行中介分析以检验潜在机制。时间1的HRQOL得分越高，通过时间1的PA享受程度和动机、PA障碍以及与父母的依恋关系，预测出的时间2对父母PA支持的认知越高。通过与父母的依恋关系产生的特定间接效应在女孩中尤为强烈，而PA享受程度与对父母PA支持的认知之间的关联在男孩中更强。我们的研究结果表明，HRQOL较差的儿童可能不会认为父母支持他们进行体育活动。促进父母对PA支持的干预措施应分别强调PA的享受程度以及对男孩和女孩父母依恋安全感的益处。
