社会互动是儿童身体活动的重要相关因素。以前的研究使用全球措施;本研究了特定的社会互动对儿童直接身体活动的影响，数据来自儿童健康饮食和活动行为：评估系统（BEACHES）。这项研究调查了178名墨西哥裔美国人和113名英国裔美国人儿童在4岁和6.5岁时在家中进行体育活动的父母和同伴激励。大多数活动提示来自成年人与久坐不动的儿童互动。提示频率从基线到随访的减少发生在更早组（成人或儿童同龄人）、性别、种族和提示前活动水平类别中。孩子们对这些提示的反应表明，随着年龄的增长，他们似乎越来越少地依赖于环境中的人际关系（尤其是成人）方面，以获得更活跃的提示。
Social interactions are important correlates of physical activity in children. Previous studies used global measures; the present study examined the influence of specific social interactions on immediate physical activity in children with data obtained from the Behaviors of Eating and Activity for Child Health: Evaluation System (BEACHES). The study examined parental and peer prompting of physical activity at home among 178 Mexican-American and 113 Anglo-American children at age 4 years and again at age 6.5 years. Most activity prompts came from adults interacting with children when they were sedentary. A reduction in the frequency of prompts from baseline to follow-up occurred in the prompter group (adult or child peer), gender, ethnicity, and preprompted activity level categories. Children's responses to these prompts showed that as they aged, they seemed to rely less on the interpersonal (especially adult) aspects of their environment for cues to be more active.
