为了解香港华人儿童及其父母的体育活动文化，本研究访问了48名年龄在9至16岁之间的青少年及其父母，他们来自不同的社会经济背景和地理位置。本研究以儒家思想及后殖民主义理论为基础，探讨香港儿童及其家长的体育活动意义。结果表明，父母重视体育活动，认为这有助于孩子的幸福，并为他们的生活提供平衡。不过，不同年龄组的人在这种态度上存在差异。初中学生（9-12岁）表示对体育活动感兴趣。然而，年龄较大的中学生（12岁或以上）认为或被告知，学术学习是他们生活中最重要的方面，体育活动不是优先事项。在检查父母和孩子参与体育活动时，父母参与孩子体育活动的障碍包括缺乏时间和习惯性久坐不动的生活方式。
To understand the physical activity culture in the lives of Hong Kong Chinese children and their parents, 48 young people between the ages 9 and 16 and their parents, with different socioeconomic backgrounds and geographical locations, were interviewed for this study. By applying Confucianism and postcolonialism, this study aimed to investigate the meaning of physical activity in the lives of Hong Kong children and their parents. The results showed that parents value physical activity as a factor which contributes to their children's well-being and provides balance to their life. There were differences though, in this attitude, for different age groups. Junior students (aged 9-12) expressed their interest in physical activities. However, older students (12 or above) in secondary school, think or are told that academic study is the most important aspect of their life and that physical activities are not a priority. When examining parents' and children's involvement in physical activity, the barriers to the parents' involvement in their children's physical activities included lack of time and a habitual sedentary lifestyle at home.
