Correlates Between Parents' and Their Children's Compliance With the 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines: A Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Very few young people meet the 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines (i.e., physical activity, recreational screen‐time and sleep duration). In this regard, when it comes to compliance with the 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines, very little is known about the parent–child relationship. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine whether parents' compliance with the 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines is associated with an increased likelihood of compliance with these same recommendations in their children. A total of 196 participants: specifically, 98 Spanish students (55.1% girls) aged 3 to 9 years and 98 parents were included in the present cross‐sectional study. Associations between parents' and children's compliance with the 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines were assessed via binary logistic regression. This cross‐sectional study highlights that parents who met all three 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines were more likely to have children who were also compliant than parents who met none, one or only two recommendations.
