Dog ownership, dog walking, and children's and parents' physical activity
A recent study from Deakin University, Australia, aimed to determine cross-sectional associations of dog ownership, dog walking, and physical activity among children and their parents. Objective measures of physical activity were obtained for children ages 5-6 and 10-12 years from 19 primary schools across Melbourne, Australia. Parents self-reported their physical activity, dog ownership, and frequency of dog walking: 53% of families owned a dog, 41% of children who owned a dog did not walk their dog at all, and 32% reported never or rarely walking their dog as a family. Dog ownership was associated with an additional 29 min/day in physical activity among younger girls, and 70 and 59 min/week more in physical activity among mothers of younger boys and older girls, respectively. Among mothers of older girls, dog owners were 1.6 times as likely to meet physical activity guidelines. Mothers with older boys and girls, and fathers with younger boys, who reported walking the dog regularly as a family, spent more time in physical activity (105, 90, and 158 more min/week, respectively). Promoting dog ownership and dog walking among children and as a family are potential strategies for increasing physical activity participation in some families.
