Abstract
We explored parents’ attitudes towards physical activity and use of fitness-related technology. Initial findings indicate that parents’ attitudes toward fitness apps were positively related to age and fitness-related self-regulation, but negatively related to parents’ BMI and number of children. Reasons for use and non-use of fitness technology are examined.
