Research Abstract |
This study sought to examine the relationship between the parental support pattern for children's physical activity and the physical activity level of children. As a result of Cluster analysis, it revealed that there are 4 clusters("No Modeling/Involvement type", "No Support type", "No Encouragement/Facilitation type" and "Support type")concerning with the parental support pattern for children's physical activity. ANOVA was conducted to examine the relationship between the parental support patterns for children's physical activity and the physical activity level of children. As result of ANOVA, it revealed that the children belonging to "Support type" and "No Modeling/Involvement type" have almost higher scores for physical activity level than "No Support type".
