Abstract

Parental influence on children’s physical activity in urban green spaces

Abstract: This study explores parents’ influence on children’s physical activity (PA) in urban green spaces (UGS). In this study, “children” includes both younger children and adolescents, ages 1-18. Data (n= 422) were collected through face-to-face personal interviews with parents between April 1 and May 31, 2015 in city of Aydın, Turkey. We analyzed associations between parents’ physical co-activity, frequency and duration of parents’ PA with children and frequency and duration of children’s PA with bivariate correlations and multivariate regression analyses while controlling for children’s age and sex, parent’s marital status, education level, occupation, and household income level. Results showed that closer distance to UGS from home was associated with more frequency of children’s PA, whereas parents’ participation in children’s PA was negatively associated with children’s PA. On the other hand, frequency of parents’ PA with children was positively associated with frequency of children’s PA while duration of parents’ PA with children was positively associated with duration of children’s PA. We also found older children were negatively associated with frequency of children’s PA, whereas household income was positively associated with frequency and duration of children’s PA while more educated parents were negatively associated with frequency and duration of children’s PA. The findings indicate that “physically more active parents bring up physically more active children.”

Keywords: Adolescents, parents’ physical co-activity, parks, distance, Turkey.

Kentsel yeşil alanlarda çocukların fiziksel aktivitesi üzerinde ebeveynlerin etkisi

Özet: Bu çalışma kentsel yeşil alanlarda çocukların fiziksel aktivitesi üzerinde ebeveyn etkisini araştırmaktadır. Bu araştırmada “çocuklar” yaşları 1-18 arasında değişen küçük çocukları ve ergenleri içermektedir. Veriler (n= 422) Aydın kentinde 1 Nisan-31 Mayıs 2015 tarihleri arasında ebeveynlerle yüz yüze bireysel görüşmeler yapılarak toplanmıştır. Çocukların yaşı ve cinsiyeti, ebeveynlerin medeni durumu, eğitim seviyesi, iş durumu ve aylık hane geliri kontrol edilerek iki değişkenli korelasyon ve çok değişkenli regresyon ile ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktivite birlikteliği, çocuklar ile birlikte fiziksel aktive sıklığı ve süresi ile çocukların fiziksel aktivite sıklığı ve süresi arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, kentsel yeşil alanların eve olan mesafesiyle çocukların fiziksel aktivite sıklığı arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişki olduğunu; diğer taraftan ebeveynlerin çocukların fiziksel aktivitelerine katılımıyla çocukların fiziksel aktivite sıklığı arasında anlamlı negatif ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Buna karşılık, ebeveynlerin çocukları ile birlikte fiziksel aktivite sıklığı ile çocukların fiziksel aktivite sıklığı arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişki bulunurken, aynı zamanda ebeveynlerin çocukları ile birlikte fiziksel aktivite süresiyle çocukların fiziksel aktivite süreleri arasında da anlamlı pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, sonuçlar yaşı daha büyük çocuklarla çocukların fiziksel aktive sıklığı arasında anlamlı negatif ilişkisi olduğunu gösterirken, ebeveynlerin hane aylık gelirinin çocukların fiziksel aktivite sıklığı ve süresi arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişki olduğunu; diğer taraftan da daha eğitimli ebeveynlerle çocukların fiziksel aktivite sıklığı ve süresi arasında anlamlı negatif ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları "fiziksel olarak daha aktif ebeveynler fiziksel olarak daha aktif çocuklar yetiştirmektedir" düşüncesini desteklemektedir.
