SEM of the direct and the indirect (via parental PA behavior) effect on children’s MVPA, SEM = structure equation model, Family factor 2 is based on nationality (non-Swiss = reference) and parental education (low = reference), The values display the average change (Coeff. (95% Confidence interval)) in the child’s minutes spent in MVPA/day associated with the respective factor level (as compared to the reference level) or with a one unit change in the respective predictor variable, * p < 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001, N = 852, if both parents wore an accelerometer the mother has been included. Fit statistic: RMSEA (root mean square error of approximation): 0.04 (90%CI: 0.03; 0.05), NNFI (non-normed fit index): 0.904, CFI (comparative fit index) 0.947. R2 of the model for the latent variable “parental physical activity behaviour” = 0.123
