During the COVID-19 pandemic, a few studies used accelerometers to assess physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior in the family context. This study aimed to assess children and parents' moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time, as well as their relationship in MVPA and sedentary time. Data were collected from 30 parent-child dyads during the COVID-pandemic for seven days, using a hip-worn accelerometer. Children and parents engaged in 65.6 and 34.6 min/day in MVPA and 442.2 and 427.9 min/day sedentary, respectively. There was no evidence of gender difference in MVPA and sedentary between boys and girls. Male parent spent more time in MVPA than female parents. A total of 50% of children and 53.3% of parents met the recommended PA. Children's MVPA and sedentary time were both correlated with that of their parents. Adjusted linear regression showed that only child MVPA was negatively associated with their parents' MVPA. There is evidence that multi-level interventions involving parents and children are more effective than interventions focusing on a single group. This study also provides evidence to support the link between MVPA and sedentary time between parents and children. Generalization of the findings is difficult due to the bias of self-selection sample.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，有几项研究使用加速度计评估家庭环境中的身体活动 (PA) 和久坐行为。本研究旨在评估儿童和家长的中等强度和剧烈身体活动 (MVPA) 和久坐时间，以及它们在 MVPA 和久坐时间方面的关系。这项研究的数据是在 COVID-19 大流行期间，通过佩戴在臀部的加速度计，从 30 对亲子对中收集了 7 天的数据。儿童和家长分别进行了 65.6 和 34.6 分钟/天的 MVPA 和 442.2 和 427.9 分钟/天的久坐。男孩和女孩在 MVPA 和久坐时间方面没有性别差异。男性家长比女性家长花更多的时间进行 MVPA。共有 50%的儿童和 53.3%的家长达到了推荐的 PA。儿童的 MVPA 和久坐时间都与他们父母的 MVPA 和久坐时间相关。调整后的线性回归显示，只有儿童的 MVPA 与他们父母的 MVPA 呈负相关。有证据表明，涉及父母和儿童的多层次干预比只关注单一群体的干预更有效。这项研究还提供了证据支持父母和子女之间的 MVPA 和久坐时间之间的联系。由于自我选择样本的偏差，推广这些发现是困难的。
