Parents' own movement behaviours can influence those of their children, thus contributing to the health and well-being of the whole family. Parents experienced a shift in work and childcare responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. This may have led to a reduction in their healthy movements. This study examined the prevalence and correlates of meeting vs. not meeting the individual and combined recommendations within the Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines for adults among a sample of Canadian parents during the second wave (October 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Parents of children aged 5-17 years (n = 1,477) responded to a cross-sectional survey conducted in October 2020. A total of 21 self-reported correlates, including parental and child demographics, and change in family movement behaviours/characteristics were assessed. Parental movement behaviours were reported and classified as meeting or not meeting each of the guidelines. Associations between correlates and meeting each of the guidelines were examined using multiple logistic regression.
The proportion of parents who met the moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), recreational screen time, sleep duration and combined guidelines were 21.2, 51.0, 66.1, and 9.1%, respectively. Being a parent ≥ 45 years old, having a university education, and higher levels of outdoor play were associated with meeting the combined guidelines. Age, dwelling type, family hobbies, and outdoor play were associated with meeting the MVPA recommendation. Employment status, education level, dog ownership, children's age, family physical activity, and levels of distress were associated with meeting the recreational screen time recommendation. Geographical region, dwelling type, and levels of distress were associated with meeting the sleep duration recommendation.
Few Canadian parents were meeting the combined 24-hour movement guidelines recommendations for MVPA, recreational screen time, and sleep six months into the COVID-19 pandemic. Several socio-demographic, behavioural, and COVID-19-related factors emerged as significant correlates of meeting vs. not meeting the individual and/or combined recommendations within the guidelines. The findings provide various avenues for which to target future movement behaviour interventions and guideline adoption for parents.
父母自身的运动行为会影响孩子的运动行为，进而对整个家庭的健康和幸福产生影响。在新冠疫情期间，父母的工作和育儿责任发生了变化。这可能导致他们健康运动的减少。本研究调查了在新冠疫情第二波（2020年10月）期间，加拿大父母样本中符合与不符合加拿大成人24小时运动指南中各项及综合建议的情况及其相关因素。
对2020年10月进行的一项横断面调查做出回应的是5至17岁孩子的父母（n = 1477）。共评估了21个自我报告的相关因素，包括父母和孩子的人口统计学特征，以及家庭运动行为/特征的变化。报告了父母的运动行为，并将其分类为符合或不符合各项指南。使用多元逻辑回归分析相关因素与符合各项指南之间的关联。
符合中等至剧烈身体活动（MVPA）、娱乐性屏幕时间、睡眠时间和综合指南的父母比例分别为21.2%、51.0%、66.1%和9.1%。年龄≥45岁、拥有大学学历以及较高水平的户外玩耍与符合综合指南相关。年龄、居住类型、家庭爱好和户外玩耍与符合MVPA建议相关。就业状况、教育水平、是否养狗、孩子年龄、家庭体育活动以及苦恼程度与符合娱乐性屏幕时间建议相关。地理区域、居住类型和苦恼程度与符合睡眠时间建议相关。
在新冠疫情爆发六个月后，很少有加拿大父母符合MVPA、娱乐性屏幕时间和睡眠的24小时运动综合指南建议。一些社会人口学、行为学和与新冠疫情相关的因素成为符合与不符合指南中各项及/或综合建议的显著相关因素。研究结果为未来针对父母的运动行为干预和指南采用提供了多种途径。
