Funding Information: The demands of early parenthood likely influence lifestyle changes, which in turn, may compromise the pursuit of MVPA (Bellows-Riecken and Rhodes, 2008). This assumption has been supported in research underpinned by social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1998) and the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991). Specifically, declines in MVPA among parents is often predicted by intention, which in turn, is associated with lower perceived behavioral control (PBC; Cowie et al., 2018; McIntyre and Rhodes, 2009; Rhodes et al., 2014c) or self-efficacy (Dlugonski and Motl, 2014; Mailey and McAuley, 2013). Reduced opportunity for MVPA due to caregiving commitments has been reported as the critical barrier that depletes MVPA intentions among new parents, followed by fatigue, and low social support (Bellows-Riecken and Rhodes, 2008). Further, the predictors of MVPA intention do not appear to differ markedly by parent gender in observational studies (Hamilton et al., 2012), although there is some evidence that mothers? MVPA may be associated with subjective norms more than for fathers (Hamilton and White, 2011; Rhodes et al., 2014b).The trial was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Grant # 133614.
