Parental support is one of the intertwining factors that affect physical activity (PA) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With multiple COVID-19 regulations that have posed many challenges for people participating in their usual social activities, including PA, there is a need to examine parent concerns and support behaviors for PA of children with ASD. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate how the PA support behaviors of parents of children with ASD and COVID-19 concerns about their children’s PA participation changed during the pandemic and how these variables are correlated with other variables, such as their children’s demographic and PA related variables. Parents (n = 253) of children with ASD aged 10–17 years old completed an online survey that queried their children’s demographic information, parent PA support behaviors, parent and child PA, COVID-19 concerns about their children’s PA participation, and the perceived importance of their children’s PA. The results showed that parents’ COVID-19 concerns for their children participating in PA significantly correlated to the severity of their children’s ASD. Parents who identified as more physically active and perceived their children’s PA participation as more important tended to show higher COVID-19-related concerns. In addition, higher COVID-19 concerns among parents negatively correlated with their children’s PA variables. Parent PA support behaviors showed a significant reduction during the pandemic compared to before the pandemic. Overall, the findings suggest that it is important to provide parents with information on safe PA participation and resources to promote their children’s PA.
Abstract
Parental support is one of the intertwining factors that affect physical activity (PA) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With multiple COVID-19 regulations that have posed many challenges for people participating in their usual social activities, including PA, there is a need to examine parent concerns and support behaviors for PA of children with ASD. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate how the PA support behaviors of parents of children with ASD and COVID-19 concerns about their children’s PA participation changed during the pandemic and how these variables are correlated with other variables, such as their children’s demographic and PA related variables. Parents (n = 253) of children with ASD aged 10–17 years old completed an online survey that queried their children’s demographic information, parent PA support behaviors, parent and child PA, COVID-19 concerns about their children’s PA participation, and the perceived importance of their children’s PA. The results showed that parents’ COVID-19 concerns for their children participating in PA significantly correlated to the severity of their children’s ASD. Parents who identified as more physically active and perceived their children’s PA participation as more important tended to show higher COVID-19-related concerns. In addition, higher COVID-19 concerns among parents negatively correlated with their children’s PA variables. Parent PA support behaviors showed a significant reduction during the pandemic compared to before the pandemic. Overall, the findings suggest that it is important to provide parents with information on safe PA participation and resources to promote their children’s PA.
