Parental Support Is Associated With Healthy Movement Behaviours In Children With Disabilities During Covid-19
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Parental support of healthy movement behaviours (i.e., daily physical activity, PA; reduced sedentary behaviours, SB; and adequate sleep) is important, particularly in children and youth with disabilities (CYWD), who are often less active and more sedentary, on average, compared with typically developing children. The COVID-19 pandemic and related public health restrictions have limited children’s PA and increased SBs and placed significant stress on families of CYWD. Parental support of healthy movement behaviours may be critical in mitigating the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic for CYWD. PURPOSE: To assess the association between parental support and healthy movement behaviours in CYWD during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: We recruited parents of school-aged CYWD (n = 151) in April/May 2020. Parents assessed their child’s previous 7-day PA, SB, and sleep, perceived changes in their child’s movement behaviours due to the COVID-19 restrictions, and perceived parental support of their child’s movement behaviours during COVID-19. We assessed the association between movement behaviours and parental factors using Pearson and point-biserial correlations, where * = p < .05 and ** = p < .01. RESULTS: Few CYWD were meeting the combined healthy movement behaviour guidelines (1.3%) during the initial phase (April/May 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parent encouragement was positively associated with increased child’s outdoor PA (.23**), wheeling, walking, and biking (.19**), indoor PA (.16**), chores (.19*), and family-based PA (.26**). Parental co-play was similarly positively associated with the child’s increased outdoor PA (.26**), wheeling, walking, and biking (.39**), and family-based PA (.26**). Overall parent capability and opportunity to support movement behaviours was positively associated with the child’s increased child’s outdoor PA (.38**), wheeling, walking, and biking (.26**), chores (.16*), and family-based PA (.37**), as well as increased sleep quality (0.31**) and decreased screen time (-.22**). CONCLUSIONS: Parents of CYWD have an important role in encouraging healthy movement behaviours. As we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, return to play recommendations should consider the role of the family in supporting healthy movement behaviours in CYWD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
