Abstract [en]
Physical activity (PA) has been associated with several health benefits in children, while inactivity has been associated with various diseases. The World Health Organization recommends a minimum of 60 minutes of PA per day for children, but only 20% of 11 to 17‐year‐old children achieve this. A better understanding of the socio‐ecological factors that underlie PA habits may lead to more effective interventions that increase childhood PA.
