Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore physical activity support of primary caregivers for low income school age children
Methods: Survey methodology using a selfadministered questionnaire was employed. Primary caregivers with low income school age children attending at community child centers in D metropolitan city and G-Gun, Chungnam
participated in the study. A total of 160 questionnaires was analyzed.
Results: Primary caregivers showed moderate level of physical activity support for their children. Significant factors affecting physical activity support of primary caregivers were children’s age (β=-.22, p=.007), relations with children, especially mothers as primary caregivers (β=0.17, p=0.039), Energy balance knowledge of primary caregivers (β=.23, p=.004), which explained 18.1% of the variance in physical activity support (F=7.73, p<.001). Perception of Children Weight of Primary Caregivers were not correlated with physical activity supports of primary caregivers for their children.
Conclusion: To improve support of primary caregivers for increasing physical activity of low income school age children, education and appropriate information should be provided to improve energy balance knowledge.
