Children's minutes/week of walking and non-school physical activity was
measured using parent-reported frequency and duration of vigorous, moderate
and sport-related physical activity. Existing items from national physical activity
surveys were modified and pilot tested for
children . Sufficient physical activity in children was defined
as ≥420 min/week of total physical activity . Children self-reported whether they went for a
walk in their neighborhood, took their dog for a walk, played in the street
or played outside in the yard in the last week (percent agreement ≥ 60%;
yes/no). Accusplit AH120 pedometers
recorded children's step counts. Counts were considered valid if they were
between 1000 and 30,000 steps per day . Average weekly
steps were calculated for children recording steps for at least four days
as well as the proportion
achieving the 12,000 (boys) and 15,000 (girls) steps/day recommended to
reduce the likelihood of overweight and obesity.
