Hence attention was directed towards identifying which reinforce or prohibit participation.

100 published studies during the period 1990-2006 were selected from electronic data bases and manually according to certain conditions.

The most important condition was the measurement of physical activity level in children age 5-15 years and searching its correlation with other factors.

Analysis revealed the correlation of 25 factors researched in the sample articles whether positively or negatively with children physical activity indicating the possibility of the effect of a composite of these factors.
