Abstract: Inadequate physical activity has become a problematic issue that impacts physical and psychological health of children and adolescents around the world. Parents play an important role in developing a good habit of physical activity of kids. Physical activity parenting practices include the context specific behaviors that parents use to accomplish desired childrearing outcomes namely ensuring their children are physically active. Effective assessment of physical activity parenting practices in early stage takes on special significance for planning and developing parental level interventions in later stage. At present, there are many kinds of relevant assessment instruments abroad while they vary in terms of designing theories, constructs, psychometric assessment and application methods. The research on relevant assessment instruments in China is still in its infancy. This paper summarizes the development as well as the application of domestic and international assessment instruments for physical activity parenting practices, and puts forward some suggestions in this field.
