The needs of parents and their network to influence physical activity and motor development among children 0-to-4-years old: a mixed-methods study protocol
The results of this study will generate in-depth insights into parents' perceptions and needs to influence their young children's physical activity and motor development as well as the daily activities of parents and children within their physical and social environments, including the family network. These results will inform the development of intervention and implementation strategies within the larger Active System for an Active Start study, focused on early life and systemic changes to improve physical activity and motor development of young children in the Netherlands.
