Abstract: The Media Richness Theory (MRT) is an important framework that has been used to explain how teachers and/or parents may use media to communicate with each other. Choosing an inappropriate medium may instead oversimplify or overcomplicate information, which may negatively influence a child's participation in physical activity. The purpose of this article is therefore to describe practical examples for adapted physical education teachers to communicate with parents regarding child physical activity using the MRT.
