Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background The purpose of the current study was to examine association between physical activity (PA) of parents of children with developmental disabilities and theory of planned behaviour-related variables. Methods A total of 95 participants completed questionnaires that measured the following variables: PA behaviours, action planning, intention, affective attitude, instrumental attitude. A path analysis was used to examine the associations between the variables. Results Among participants, 40% did not meet the PA guideline. PA affective attitude was positively associated with PA intention (β = 0.30, p = .009) and PA action planning (β = .22, p = .03). In turn, both PA intention and PA action planning were associated with moderate-to-vigorous PA in parents of children with developmental disabilities (β = 0.23, p = .008; β = 0.52, p < .001, respectively). Conclusion Physical activity in parents of children with developmental disabilities were appropriately explained by theory of planned behaviour-related variables.
