abstract = {Background: Some studies have reported a positive parent–child association between
physical activity (PA), but few have examined the di erence in these associations concerning
both genders. The objective of this study was to establish the association between moderate
to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and mode of commuting (MC) of the parents with their
children by gender and age group. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 686 mothers and
fathers (43.4   6.5 years old) and their children (children 9.7   1.7 y. and adolescents 14.0   1.7 y.).
Each participant completed a questionnaire on PA and MC. Chi-square test, odds ratio for categorical
variables, and lineal regressions for continuous variables were used to examine the parent–child
associations. Results: An inverse association was found between fathers–children in the weekend
MVPA in children and between mothers–adolescents in out-of-school and weekend MVPA. An inverse
association was found in MVPA between mothers-girls, and the di erent parents’ MC to work was
positively associated with the MC to school in children and adolescents except for the association
AC parents–adolescents. The AC was mainly associated between mothers and girls and boys.
Conclusions: A weak association in parent–child MVPA but a strong association in MC between
parent–child was found.},
