ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity of parents of young children with disabilities and the effect of physical activity enjoyment on those physical activity behaviors. 135 participants completed an online survey which included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form and the physical activity enjoyment questionnaire. Mean metabolic equivalent-minutes per week for moderate physical activity was 747.00 (SD: 747.25) and for vigorous physical activity was 654.68 (SD: 992.84). 33% of participants reported zero minutes per week of both moderate and vigorous physical activity. Two separate multiple linear regressions indicated that physical activity enjoyment was a significant predictor for both moderate physical activity (β = 0.26, p = 0.002) and vigorous physical activity (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) after controlling for the ages of parent and child. The results of this study suggest that parents of young children with disabilities who participated in physical activity were moderately physically active, but a considerable number of parents of young children with disabilities did not participate in moderate and vigorous physical activity at all. Fortunately, targeting physical activity enjoyment may be a way to promote physical activity in parents of young children with disabilities.

身体活动乐趣对残疾幼儿父母身体活动的影响

摘要

本研究的目的是检查残疾幼儿父母的身体活动以及身体活动享受对这些身体活动行为的影响。135 名参与者完成了一项在线调查,其中包括国际体育活动问卷简表和体育活动享受问卷。中等体力活动每周平均代谢当量分钟数为 747.00 (SD: 747.25),剧烈体力活动为 654.68 (SD: 992.84)。33% 的参与者报告每周进行中等强度和剧烈运动的时间为零分钟。两个独立的多元线性回归表明,身体活动的享受是适度身体活动的重要预测因子 ( β = 0.26,p = 0.002) 和剧烈的身体活动 ( β  = 0.31,p < 0.001) 在控制了父母和孩子的年龄之后。本研究结果表明,参加体育活动的残疾幼儿家长身体活动适度,但相当一部分残疾幼儿家长根本没有参加适度、剧烈的体育活动。幸运的是,以享受体育活动为目标可能是促进残疾幼儿父母体育活动的一种方式。
