Cross sectional study of upper elementary children's energy-balanced behaviors and determinants. Healthy and less healthy eating and physical activity behaviors were significantly related within categories and inversely related to each other. The healthy behaviors were generally explained by self-efficacy and habit, or “facilitating” determinants. The less behaviors were generally explained by outcome expectations, self-efficacy, goal intention, and habit, or “motivational” and “facilitating” determinants. Interventions need to address both “motivational” and “facilitating” determinants to help children reduce their less healthy behaviors.
