Abstract

Review question / Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to examine studies that have assessed the effectiveness of health promotion programs with parental or family involvement for increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in school-aged children. Condition being studied: Research has shown that parental or family support is positively associated with overall physical activity in children and young people. However, little is known about the differential effect of involving parents and family members when implementing interventions for promoting physical activity in children and adolescents compared with strategies that only rely on actions focused on the individuals or school environments. Information sources: A search strategy for articles will be carried out in the following databases: Embase, Pubmed, SPORTDiscus, Scopus and CINAHL. Also, a search from gray literature (academic google, Open Gray) and references from the articles found in the first stage will be conducted.
