Objective
This study aimed to investigate the physical activity of children with decreased visual acuity, thereby providing basic data for developing strategies to enhance the physical activity of school-age children.

Methods
The participants were 1,194 children and 1,194 parents who participated in the 10th Korean Children Panel Survey. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the status of the physical activity of children with decreased visual acuity according to the accessibility of community facilities.

Results
The mother perceived the accessibility of community facilities as low, children with decreased visual acuity reported 1.20 times shorter over-the-weekend leisure activity time compared with vision-typical children, and they spent 1.41 and 1.33 times shorter on caring for pets and religious activity, respectively.

Conclusions
To increase the physical activity of children with decreased visual acuity, family-oriented interventions should be provided. It is also important to establish a community environment with enhanced accessibility of community facilities by examining the level of accessibility perceived by parents.
