背景资料：本研究的目的是探讨亲子体育活动（PA）协会和儿童的自尊或运动能力是否介导这种协会。方法：研究人群包括1124名12岁儿童及其父母。父母的PA使用Baecke问卷和一个关于运动参与的问题进行评估。儿童的PA进行了评估的问题参与体育和激烈的活动。儿童的自尊和运动能力进行了评估哈特的青少年自我知觉的轮廓。结果：父母的PA与子女的PA密切相关。与父母不活动的情况相比，父母两人活动的情况下，其子女参加体育运动的比值比为3.9（95%CI = 2.2-6.9，女孩）和8.8（95%CI = 4.3-18.0，男孩）。运动能力部分介导这些协会。结论：家庭是干预措施的一个重要目标，以增加儿童中的PA，它可能是重要的是要考虑如何加强儿童的运动能力。
Background: The aims of this study were to investigate parent-child physical activity (PA) associations and whether children's self-esteem or athletic competence mediates such associations. Methods: The study population comprised 1124 12-year-old children and their parents. Parents' PA was assessed using the Baecke questionnaire and a question about sport participation. Children's PA was assessed by questions about participation in sport and vigorous activities. The children's self-esteem and athletic competence were assessed by Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents. Results: Parents' PA was strongly associated with their children's PA. With 2 active parents, the odds ratio for their children to participate in sport was 3.9 (95% CI = 2.2-6.9, girls) and 8.8 (95% CI = 4.3-18.0, boys) compared with having inactive parents. Athletic competence partly mediated these associations. Conclusions: The family is an important target for interventions to increase PA among children, and it might be important to consider ways to reinforce children's athletic competence.
