PY - 2015 DA - 2015/10/08 TI - “You’ve got to settle down!”: Mothers’ perceptions of physical activity in their young children JO - BMC Pediatrics SP - 149 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Mothers are important mediators of children’s physical activity (PA) level and risk of obesity, however previous studies of maternal perceptions of child PA have been limited. Furthermore, it is unknown if maternal perceptions of child PA are predicted by family, mother and child characteristics. Therefore objectives of this study were to 1) evaluate maternal perceptions of PA in their children and 2) test associations of family, mother and child characteristics with these perceptions.
