Little is currently known about providers' perceptions and beliefs about physical activity, particularly for very young children. This study describes providers' perceptions and beliefs about infants' and toddlers' physical activity, and assesses their knowledge of physical activity guidelines, to establish if and where providers may need support to promote physical activity in child care settings. date: 2015 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12889-015-1477-z oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_source: PubMed elements_id: 1021777 doi: 10.1186/s12889-015-1477-z lyricists_name: Hesketh, Kathryn lyricists_id: KHESK24 full_text_status: public publication: BMC Public Health volume: 15 number: 100 event_location: England citation: Hesketh, KR; van Sluijs, EM; Blaine, RE; Taveras, EM; Gillman, MW; Benjamin Neelon, SE; (2015) Assessing care providers' perceptions and beliefs about physical activity in infants and toddlers: baseline findings from the Baby NAP SACC study.
