Rosenkranz, Kansas State University & University of Western Sydney David A. Dzewaltowski, Kansas State University CONTACT Abstract INFORMATION: Previous studies have demonstrated that parents may influence the physical activity (PA) levels of children. The present study sought to determine whether PA-related Ric Rosenkranz, Ph.D. parenting behaviors were associated with the physical activity and relative weight University of Western of children, controlling for other covariates. A community sample of mothers (n = Sydney 193) of after-school-program attendees completed questionnaires assessing parental Locked Bag 1797 social support for PA, sedentary behavior, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activ- Penrith, NSW, 2751 ity. Children (N = 193, 51% girls) were objectively assessed for height and weight E–mail: via stadiometer and digital scale, and the data were converted to body mass index [email protected] (BMI) percentile via Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2010a) growth charts. Linear regression analysis revealed that maternal encouragement for Phone: child PA was positively related to both child PA and BMI percentile. However, +61 02 4620 3625 mother-child shared physical activity was negatively related to child BMI percentile. Therefore, varying types of PA-related parenting behaviors may have differential relationships with child PA and relative weight. Current recommendations indicate that children should attain 60 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) per day (Strong et al., 2005). Many children do not get sufficient amounts of PA (Troiano et al., 2008), and may therefore be more vulnerable to negative health outcomes, including overweight and obesity (Anderson & Butcher, 2006). According to recent surveillance data (Ogden et al., 2008), 33.6% of U.S. kids ages two to 19 are overweight or obese (85th percentile or higher on weight relative to height, adjusted for age and gender), and 17.1% are obese (95th percentile or higher). Among the potential determinants of children’s PA levels and weight status, parents emerge as an important influence (Golan & Crow, 2004; Gustafson & Rhodes, 2006; Trost et al., 2003). Recent sur- WSPAJ Vol. 20, No. 1 Winter 2011 3 Rosenkranz and Dzewaltowski veillance data also show that a majority of U.S. adults well established, (Gustafson & Rhodes, 2006; Sallis, (many of whom are parents) are insufficiently physically Prochaska, & Taylor, 2000), a review of the literature active (Troiano et al, 2008),
