Associations between childrens social functioning and physical activity participation are not mediated by social acceptance: a cross-sectional study

摘要

BackgroundPhysical activity (PA) during childhood often occurs in social contexts. As such, children's ability to develop and maintain friendship groups may be important in understanding their PA. This paper investigates the associations among children's social functioning, and physical activity and whether perceptions of social acceptance mediate any social functioning-PA association.
