Question

Read the paragraph to answer the question.

Parents influence on their young children's physical activity behaviors was examined in a sample of 102 preschool-aged children (54 boys). Questionnaires regarding family sociodemographics and physical activity habits were completed. Results showed that children who received greater parental support for activity and had parents who rated PA as highly enjoyable were significantly more likely to engage in one hour or more of daily PA. Being an older child, having older parents, and watching more than one hour of television/videos per day reduced the likelihood that a child would be rated as highly active. Children who received greater parental support for PA were 6.3 times more likely to be highly active than inactive. Thus, parents can promote PA among their preschoolers, not only by limiting TV time but also by being highly supportive of their children's active pursuits.
