“…For instance, 12 review papers have examined the association between child's PA and parent's PA (for review see (Yao and Rhodes, 2015)). Three of 12 studies do not support the link between child's PA and parent's PA (Trost and Loprinzi, 2011;Bauman, et al, 2012;Sterdt, et al, 2013) while eight of them found the relationship inconclusive (Sallis, et al, 2000;Biddle, et al, 2005;Gustafson and Rhodes, 2006;Van Der Horst, et al, 2007;Edwardson and Gorely, 2010;Craggs, et al, 2011;Biddle, et al, 2011;Webber and Loescher, 2013). Due to different findings, more research on this topic is needed.…”

“…Although several reviews have considered the role of social networks, in particular social support, on PA in children and adolescents (e.g., Beets, Cardinal, & Alderman, 2010; Edwardson & Gorely, 2010; Yao & Rhodes, 2015), only one focused specifically on adolescent girls (Laird et al, 2016). This review identified significant positive associations between social support from friends and family and adolescent girls’ PA.…”

Purpose: Adolescent girls are not sufficiently active to achieve health benefits. Social support from friends and family has been positively associated with physical activity in adolescent girls; however it is unclear how social support influences physical activity behaviour. This study aimed to develop a grounded theory of how social support influences physical activity in adolescent girls. Methods: A qualitative, constructivist grounded theory approach was adopted. Individual interviews explored adolescent girls’ perspectives of how significant others’ influenced their physical activity through providing social support, and through modelling physical activity. Results: Participants perceived social support to influence physical activity behaviour through performance improvements, self-efficacy, enjoyment, motivation and by enabling physical activity. Improvements in performance and self-efficacy were also linked to motivation to be active. Girls perceived modelling to influence behaviour through providing opportunities for them to be physically active, and by inspiring them to be active. Conclusion: The grounded theory outlines adolescent girls’ perceptions of how significant others influence their physical activity and provides a framework for future research examining the role of social support on physical activity.

“…According to the framework, environmental factors can have a direct impact on the behaviours or can be mediated by the cognitive factors. Specifically for children, it is important to focus on family environmental factors, because research has indicated that parents (and not peers) have the most impact on children's EBRB by influencing both the physical and social environment of their children (5)(6)(7) and it has been argued that intervention strategies for children need a major focus on the family context and parental involvement (8) . Next to the family environment, the school environment can be considered important as well, since schools have the capacity to provide several opportunities to practise healthy dietary behaviours and to engage in physical activity (PA) (9)(10)(11)(12) .…”

Objective: To examine family-and school-based predictors of breakfast consumption, soft drink consumption and physical activity (PA) and moderating effects of gender and socio-economic status (SES). Design: Longitudinal study (6-year follow-up), including a questionnaire about dietary and activity behaviour. Setting: Fifty-nine Flemish elementary schools. Subjects: Seven hundred and twenty-seven children (51?9 % girls, 51?9 % high SES, mean age 9?9 (SD 0?4) years at baseline). Results: Having breakfast together with parents (P , 0?001) at age 10 years related to more days of eating breakfast at age 16 years. More parental soft drink consumption (P 5 0?04), less soft drink availability at home (P , 0?001) and less parental permissiveness (children received soft drinks from their parents whenever they asked for it and children could take soft drinks whenever they wanted; P 5 0?02 and P 5 0?001, respectively) at age 10 years related to less soft drink consumption at age 16 years. A more positive parental attitude towards PA (P 5 0?009), more parental encouragement (P 5 0?002) and a higher rating of PA's benefit 'relaxing' (P , 0?001) at age 10 years related to more PA at age 16 years. Gender and SES did not significantly moderate any of the associations. Conclusions: Only parental factors at age 10 years were associated with breakfast consumption, soft drink consumption and PA at age 16 years. An intervention programme at age 10 years with a strong focus on the modifiable parental factors might lead to healthy behaviour in the long term. KeywordsPredictors Energy balance-related behaviours Children Family SchoolThe high prevalence of overweight and obesity among children urges the need to develop effective programmes to prevent obesity. A first step is to identify the energy balance-related behaviours (EBRB) that are related to overweight and obesity. The next step is then to provide theory-based empirical evidence on the most important and modifiable determinants, correlates and predictors of those EBRB that can be targeted in an obesity prevention programme(1)
