Year: 1988

Type: article

Abstract: In the present study of 213 healthy children, the relation between parental reports of activity level and laboratory-determined physical fitness was examined. Results indicated that parental reports of activity level were associated with fitness for the entire sample. The association was most consistent among White children who resided in a household that was headed by their father.
