With children spending the majority of their waking hours in school, the hope is that increased access to and subsequent participation in physical activity will enable children to establish the foundation for a lifetime of health and physical activity. For this foundation to have any effect, exposure to physical activity cannot cease when children leave school; rather, exposure must extend into a child’s life outside of school, which entails the need for family and community involvement (AAHPERD, 2011). To date, research investigating the relationship among physical activity, family and community involvement, and various health outcomes in children has been sparse. Of the studies that have been conducted successfully, results and conclusions have varied widely, illustrating that this line of research is still developing.The physical activity interventions that exert the most impact used a multicomponent approach (similar to the CSPAP model). It is notable that when family and community involvement were included as part of the multicomponent approach, studies have shown an even greater increase in the overall physical activity levels of children (van Sluijs, McMinn, & Griffin, 2007).
