Aperçu: G.M.
Le but de cette étude était d'examiner un nouvel outil (PPPAS: Parent
Perceptions of Physical Activity Scale-Pré-scolaire) développé pour
étudier les perceptions parentales de l'activité physique (AP) chez les
parents d'enfants en bas âge et les enfants d'âge préscolaire.
Les résultats ont soutenu une structure à deux facteurs: les perceptions des avantages de l'AP et des obstacles à l'AP. La cohérence interne des scores était bonne pour les deux sous-échelles PPPAS, dérivées des deux facteurs.
La
perception par les parents des obstacles à l'AP était
significativement corrélée aux retards dans le fonctionnement adaptatif
global, les capacités dans la vie quotidienne, la socialisation et les
compétences motrices. Lorsque
les compétences motrices d'un enfant étaient retardées, les parents
étaient moins susceptibles de croire que l'AP était bénéfique et ont perçu plus de barrières à l'AP.
La perception parentale des obstacles à l'AP prévoyait que les parents rapporteraient une AP hebdomadaire
non structurée et une évaluation de la façon
dont leur enfant était physiquement actif comparé à d'autres enfants.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to examine a new tool (PPPAS: Parent Perceptions of Physical Activity Scale-Preschool) developed to study parental perceptions of physical activity (PA) among parents of toddler and preschool age children.METHOD:
143 children (mean age 31.65 months; 75% male) and their parents were recruited from a neurodevelopmental clinic. Parents completed questionnaires, and both a psychologist and a physician evaluated the children. 83% of the children received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder; 20% of the children had a BMI > 85th percentile. Analyses were conducted to evaluate the reliability, concurrent validity, discriminant validity, and predictive validity of PPPAS scores.RESULTS:
Results supported a two-factor structure: Perceptions of the Benefits of PA and the Barriers to PA. The internal consistency of scores was good for both PPPAS subscales, derived from the two factors. Parent perceptions of barriers to PA were significantly correlated with delays in overall adaptive functioning, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills. When a child's motor skills were delayed, parents were less likely to believe PA was beneficial and perceived more barriers to PA. Parent perceptions of barriers to PA predicted parent-reported weekly unstructured PA and ratings of how physically active their child was compared to other children.CONCLUSIONS:
We present the PPPAS-Preschool for use in pediatric exercise research and discuss potential applications in the study of parent perceptions of PA in young children.- PMID: 28486020
