The review will include studies assessing the influence of factors on children’s participation in PA, regardless of gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. The age groups for inclusion will be 5–18 years. Studies on differently abled children, children under medical treatment and those taking medications for illnesses such as neurological, cardiac and mental health conditions will be excluded from the review as the factors influencing differently abled and children under medical treatment will vary.
