The benefits of physical activity on the physical and mental health of children with disabilities have been well documented. Children with physical disabilities engage in much less PA than their peers without disabilities. Health professionals are concerned that children with PD are at a predisposed risk of developing secondary health conditions because of their inactivity. Previous studies have identified factors related to PA in children with disabilities, but little is known about the factors that are specific to children with PD. To fill this research gap, it is necessary to improve our understanding of the correlates that facilitate an active lifestyle among this group of children, so that effective interventions can be developed. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth provides a sound theoretical framework with multi-level components to explain the health and disability of children and youth. Based upon the ICF-CY framework, the thesis aimed to explore multi-level correlates of PA in children with PD. The thesis presents a three-step study. Study I provides a comprehensive summary of the present state of knowledge about the correlates of PA in children with PD, based on the ICF-CY framework. Building on the results of Study I, which highlighted the importance of contextual and individual functioning correlates, Study II explores the contextual-level correlates of PA. Study III investigates the functioning-level correlates of PA in children with PD. Specifically, the purpose of Study I was to systematically review the correlates of PA with the assessment of consistency of potential correlates in children with PD. A systematic search, using PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsychINFO, Eric, and EMbase, was initiated in October 2014 to identify studies examining the correlates of PA in children with PD aged 6-18 years. The correlates were synthesized and further assessed semi-quantitatively. A total of 45 articles was included in the detailed review. Potential correlates examined in the included studies were categorized based on the components of the ICF-CY framework. The ICF-CY framework divided the contextual-level factors into personal and environmental factors. Results showed that personal factors were most widely studied, with preference for PA, mastery motivation, and self-perceived athletic competence as consistently positively associated with PA. Environmental factors were the least frequently studied category, among which only one modifiable factor was consistently positively associated with PA. Functioning variables were also less studied, showing that only one modifiable factor and one non-modifiable factor were found to be consistently positively associated with PA. This systematic review supports the multi-level correlates of PA in children with PD and informs future studies focusing on the less studied environmental and functioning factors. Given the importance of both contextual-level and individual functioning-level correlates of PA found in Study 1, Study II aimed to examine the context-specific association between environmental factors and PA in children with PD in home and school settings. Home and school are important settings where children are able to accumulate health enhancing PA. An observation tool called BEACHES was used to document PA and the immediate physical and social environmental characteristics in children with PD in school and home settings. Participants were 147 children with PD. Generally, children spent most of their time being physically inactive. However, relative to other settings, they had slightly more PA during recess and after class periods. Those without walking assistance were more physically active than those who needed walking assistance. Results of linear mixed models revealed context-specific correlates of PA. For example, the presence of mothers and their prompts for physical activity was significantly associated with the percentage of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA during before school setting; while the presence of another child as a source of active prompt was positively related to MVPA % during recess and lunch settings. The presence of fathers was a positive correlate of MVPA % at home. This study concludes that environmental correlates vary depending on the characteristics of the behavioral context in this specific population. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.).
