To investigate the status of physical activity and parental support of children aged 6-10 years in Macau and to explore the relationship between them.
The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short form (IPAQ-S) and Activity Support Scale for Multiple Groups (ACTS-MG) were used to investigate children's physical activity time, parental support level, and general demographic information. The height and weight of the children are measured by a portable instrument.
The physical activity of children in Macau is insufficient, does not meet the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO). Regarding parents' support, the average score of physical activity models and community resource utilization is relatively low. Linear regression results showed that the relationship between low physical activity (LPA) and parental support was not statistically significant, and that children with moderate physical activity (MPA) (over all = 0.256, boys = 0.245, girls = 0.279), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (over all = 0.291, boys = 0.279, girls = 0.312) were significantly positively correlated with logistical support. Boys' vigorous physical activity (VPA) ( = 0.335) was significantly positively correlated with community resource utilization, and girls' vigorous physical activity (VPA) ( = 0.268) was significantly positively correlated with physical activity models.
Macau parents generally pay attention to children's physical activity endeavors, but the level of children's physical activity is relatively low. There are certain differences in the relationship between the types of parental support and the physical activity of children of different genders, and the relationship between parental logistical support and children's physical activities is closer. In future studies, investigators could look at various family interventions and make more targeted plans based on gender and activity intensity.
调查澳门6至10岁儿童的身体活动状况及家长支持情况，并探究二者之间的关系。
采用国际身体活动问卷简表（IPAQ-S）和多组活动支持量表（ACTS-MG）调查儿童的身体活动时间、家长支持水平及一般人口学信息。使用便携式仪器测量儿童的身高和体重。
澳门儿童的身体活动不足，未达到世界卫生组织（WHO）的指南要求。在家长支持方面，身体活动模式和社区资源利用的平均得分相对较低。线性回归结果显示，低身体活动（LPA）与家长支持之间的关系无统计学意义，而中度身体活动（MPA）（总体=0.256，男孩=0.245，女孩=0.279）、中度至剧烈身体活动（MVPA）（总体=0.291，男孩=0.279，女孩=0.312）与后勤支持显著正相关。男孩的剧烈身体活动（VPA）（=0.335）与社区资源利用显著正相关，女孩的剧烈身体活动（VPA）（=0.268）与身体活动模式显著正相关。
澳门家长普遍关注儿童的身体活动，但儿童的身体活动水平相对较低。不同性别儿童的家长支持类型与身体活动之间的关系存在一定差异，且家长的后勤支持与儿童身体活动之间的关系更为密切。在未来的研究中，研究者可以考虑各种家庭干预措施，并根据性别和活动强度制定更具针对性的计划。
