| 520 | 3 | |a The pivotal role of parents in encouraging physical activity among children is widely acknowledged, particularly given the growing preference of children for sedentary behaviours. This influence is especially significant during early childhood, when habits for an active lifestyle are formed, and the parental role model can be a decisive factor in a child's decision to engage in physical exercises. Existing literature highlights various parental roles that can substantially enhance a child's athletic experience. Moreover, parental involvement in urban sports includes fundraising, sponsorship, and participation in urban sports events as athletes, spectators, or facilitators of their children's social integration (including ethnic or cultural integration). Support from parents for urban sports is contingent upon a variety of factors, including the availability and quality of sports infrastructure, environmental safety, and proximity. While these aspects are thoroughly documented in international literature, there is a notable gap in knowledge within the Romanian context, as no significant studies on this topic have been identified. The present study, conducted by our research team, investigates multiple aspects of parents' perceptions regarding their children's participation in urban sports, exploring parental views on the benefits of urban sports, the motivational factors that influence parents to encourage them, the impact of financial considerations on urban sports participation, and parents' opinions on how urban sports influence children's behaviour. Our research utilized a questionnaire-based survey involving 269 parents of middle school students within the Romanian national education system. The findings indicate that parental involvement in urban sports - through volunteering, coaching, and event participation - significantly influences their perceptions of these activities and can enhance children's sports experiences by providing opportunities for socialization and skill development. The survey also revealed that parents want their children to be physically active, recognizing its contribution to harmonious physical and mental development. They also perceive it as a means to prevent juvenile delinquency and antisocial behaviour, thereby ensuring children's safety. | |
