The Effects of Mothers' Self-Efficacy on Children's Physical Activity

Abstract

Conclusions: Maternal physical activity affects children’s physical activity, and is affected by mother’s self-efficacy. Yet based on the findings of this study, regarding the role model effects of mothers in children aged 10-12 years, researchers proposed that interventions related to physical activity in children would work better if they are set to increase self-efficacy in mothers, which in turn lead to increased physical activity in children.
