Some practices such as logistical and emotional support have been shown to be positively associated with child physical activity {(PA)} levels, while for others (e.g. monitoring) the relationship is not clear. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between parent's {PA-related} practices, general parenting style, and children's {PA} level.
METHODS During the spring of 2007 a diverse group of 99 parent-child dyads (29% White, 49% Black, 22% Hispanic; 89% mothers) living in low-income rural areas of the {US} participated in a cross-sectional study. Using validated questionnaires, parents self-reported their parenting style (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved) and activity-related parenting practices. Height and weight were measured for each dyad and parents reported demographic information. Child {PA} was measured objectively through accelerometers and expressed as absolute counts and minutes engaged in intensity-specific activity.
RESULTS Seventy-six children had valid accelerometer data. Children engaged in 113.4 ± 37.0 min. of moderate-vigorous physical activity {(MVPA)} per day. Children of permissive parents accumulated more minutes of {MVPA} than those of uninvolved parents (127.5 vs. 97.1, p &amp;lt; 0.05), while parents who provided above average levels of support had children who participated in more minutes of {MVPA} (114.2 vs. 98.3</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">{PMID:} 20929570</style></notes></record></records></xml>
