Implication

Cross-sectional study showed significant associations between parental physical activity and children's activity levels, suggesting key interventions.

Key Points

A positive correlation exists between parental physical activity and children's activity levels out of school, indicating the importance of role modeling.
Maternal moderate-to-vigorous physical activity influenced children's activity levels, showing an odds ratio of 3.48 during school days with physical education.
The study involved 1,030 parent-child dyads, utilizing multiple logistic regressions to analyze the data on physical activity.
Findings suggest that family-centered physical activity programs may enhance children's outdoor activity, with maternal involvement being particularly influential.
