摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate inactivity, nutritional and lifestyle patterns in schoolchildren and their parents. Six hundred and ten members (156 mothers, 140 fathers, 156 daughters and 158 sons) of 175 nuclear families, with an average size of 3.49 members, completed a validated and reliable 16-item questionnaire of physical activity. Inactivity was found to be closely related to nutrition and selected lifestyle habits in children and their parents. A practical implication of these findings indicated that a proper physical activity intervention should consider a change in all of the nutritional and lifestyle parameters in order to be beneficial for health. Therefore, attention should be paid not only to the increase physical activity through an organized exercise plan, but also to the improvement in lifestyle habits, like optimal sleeping, consuming fruit, vegetables and breakfast every day, employing the stairs instead of the elevator, and avoiding watching TV
