Highlights
- We determined the influence of cumulative maternal physical activity during the pre-pregnancy to child-rearing period on children’s physical activity in early childhood in a Japanese population.

- The level of cumulative maternal physical activity was positively associated with the level of children’s physical activity at 5.5 years of age.
- Maternal physical activity during pregnancy and at 5.5 years postpartum was positively associated with children’s physical activity at 5.5 years of age.
