The relationship between the body mass index of the children and the physical activity level of their mothers was negative, (Spearman coefficient of relationship of 0.141, and a Gamma correlation coefficient of -, 113). The relationship between the self-efficacy towards the physical activity of the children and the physical activity level of their mothers was negative, (Spearman coefficient of 0.063, and Gamma of -, 160).
