Abstract

The aims of the present study were to compare sport participation and activity between children with LD and typically developing children, to investigate an association between sport participation and both role modelling and parental support, and to compare role modelling and parental support between children with LD and typically developing children. Children in the age of7-13 years and their parents completed sport participation and activity, role modelling and parental support questionnaires. Results showed that children with LD participated less and were less active in sports than typically developing children. An association was found between sport participation and role modelling, and between sport participation and parental support. Children with LD received less role modelling and parental support than typically developing children. This study highlights the need for informing parents of children with LD about role modelling and parental support effects on sport participation of their child.
