There is significant gender difference in adolescents' physical behaviors and home-based environmental characteristics, as well as in the association between adolescents' physical behaviors and their home-based environment. The PA availability, the parents' role-modeling of PA in same-sex parent-child dyads, and the parents' policies around PA in opposite-sex parent-child dyads can significantly promote adolescents' healthy physical behaviors.
