目的：识别与体重问题高危儿童（即父母肥胖的儿童）的体育活动行为相关的因素是制定有效干预措施以促进体育活动和减少肥胖的关键。本研究的目的是探讨儿童对父母体育活动社会支持的看法，以及这些看法与促进健康的体育活动行为之间的关系。我们的具体目标是：（a）比较不同性别和体重状况的儿童对父母支持的看法;（B）比较正常体重和超重女孩和男孩对不同来源（母亲、父亲）和类型（有形、无形）的支持的看法;（c）检查父母支持的看法与中度至剧烈体育活动（MVPA）行为之间的关联。方法：我们使用了从魁北克肥胖和生活方式调查中收集的数据，这是一项对至少有一个肥胖亲生父母的白人儿童的调查。我们在分析中纳入了儿童（n=560，M-年龄=9.6岁，55%为男孩，41%为超重/肥胖），使用自我报告问卷评估了父母支持数据，并使用加速度计评估了MVPA数据。结果：多变量方差分析表明，支持的看法不同的儿童的性别和体重状况。配对样本t检验表明，儿童报告更多的无形比有形的支持。回归分析表明，父亲的有形支持的看法是正相关的MVPA在正常体重的女孩，但只有少量的方差解释。结论：儿童的性别和体重状况需要考虑时，研究父母的支持体力活动。此外，在今后的研究中应区分支助的类型和来源。
Purpose: Identification of factors that relate to physical activity behavior in children at higher risk for weight problemsnamely, children with obese parentsis key to informing the development of effective interventions to promote physical activity and reduce obesity. The purpose of our study was to examine children's perceptions of parental social support for physical activity and the associations between these perceptions and health-enhancing physical activity behavior. Our specific objectives were to: (a) compare perceptions of parental support in children across gender and weight status; (b) compare perceptions of support across source (mother, father) and type (tangible, intangible) in normal-weight and overweight girls and boys; and (c) examine the associations between perceptions of parental support and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) behavior. Method: We used data collected from the Quebec Adiposity and Lifestyle Investigation in Youth, an investigation of Caucasian children with at least 1 obese biological parent. We included in the analyses children (n=560, M-age=9.6 years, 55% boys, 41% overweight/obese) with data on parental support assessed using a self-report questionnaire and data on MVPA assessed using accelerometers. Results: Multivariate analyses of variance indicated that perceptions of support differed by children's gender and weight status. Paired-samples t tests showed that children reported more intangible than tangible support. Regression analyses demonstrated that perceptions of paternal tangible support were positively related to MVPA in normal-weight girls, but only a small amount of variance was explained. Conclusions: Children's gender and weight status need to be considered when studying parental support for physical activity. Further, type and source of support should be differentiated in future research.
