本文提供了第一步，在一个相对较新的体育活动研究领域解决青年的特殊考虑。在回顾了对增加身体活动的新方法的迫切需求后，讨论了人们对社区设计效果日益增长的兴趣。虽然大多数关于这一主题的讨论都集中在成年人身上，但青年人和成年人之间存在着重要的差异，需要特别关注青年人，并需要考虑到这一点。本文提出了一个示意图，说明青年人如何以及在哪里度过他们的时间，将一天分解为旅行时间和目的地时间，并确定这些时间中用于体育活动的部分。通过关注青年时间的空间和行为维度，该示意图可能有助于组织和推进对社区设计与青年体育活动之间关系的科学探究。
This paper provides a first step in addressing special considerations for youth in a relatively new area of physical activity research. After reviewing the urgent need for novel approaches to increasing physical activity, the growing interest in the effects of community design are discussed. Although most discussion on this topic has focused on adults, there are important differences between youth and adults that warrant a special focus on youth and need to be accounted for This article presents a schematic that accounts for how and where youth spend their time, decomposing the day into time spent in travel and time spent at destinations, and identifying portions of those times that are spent engaged in physical activity. By focusing on both spatial and behavioral dimensions of youth time, the schematic may help organize and advance scientific inquiry into the relationships between community design and physical activity specifically for youth.
