引言：从小学到中学的过渡阶段是身体活动（PA）减少的时期。在课程时间内实施的干预措施对身体活动的影响有限。放学后的时间段可能为增加儿童的身体活动提供一个宝贵的机会。为了确定如何最好地对小学高年级儿童实施放学后身体活动干预措施，需要更多有关课后俱乐部设置的信息。本文研究了英国小学目前的课后俱乐部设置情况。
方法：2013年分两个阶段向英格兰所有公立小学（n = 15307）发送了一份在线调查问卷。询问学校为五年级和六年级学生提供的运动型和非运动型课后俱乐部、俱乐部开展的日期、每个课后俱乐部的参加儿童人数、俱乐部由谁资助以及由谁领导。
结果：做出回应的学校（501所）在全国范围内具有合理的代表性。在报告的2413个俱乐部中，非运动型俱乐部比运动型俱乐部多（每所学校分别为5.3个和4.8个）。足球是最常被报告的活动（79.5%的学校提供），无挡板篮球和舞蹈分别由45.3%和44.1%的学校提供。很大比例的俱乐部由学校或家长资助（88.6%），超过40%由外部机构领导。
结论：放学后提供了一些身体活动项目，但目前的设置以团队运动为主，因此，需要非特定运动的身体活动俱乐部。此外，需要找到具有成本效益的实施放学后身体活动项目的方法。
Introduction: The transition from primary to secondary school is a period when physical activity (PA) declines. Interventions delivered during curriculum time have had limited impact on PA. The after-school period may offer a valuable opportunity to increase children's PA. In order to identify how best to implement after-school PA interventions for older primary school children, more information regarding the provision of after-school clubs is required. This paper examined the current after-school club provision of English primary schools. Methods: All state-funded primary schools in England (n=15,307) were sent an online questionnaire in two phases during 2013. Schools were asked about the active and non-active after-school clubs on offer to year 5 and year 6 pupils and the days on which they run, the number of children attending each after-school club, who funds the club and who leads the club. Results: Responding schools (501) were reasonably representative of the national profile. Of the 2413 clubs reported, more non-active than active clubs (5.3 vs. 4.8 per school) were described. Football was the most frequently reported activity (offered by 79.5% of schools), with netball and dance being offered by 45.3% and 44.1% of schools, respectively. A high proportion of clubs was funded by schools or parents (88.6%) and more than 40% were led by external parties. Conclusions: A number of PA programmes are provided after-school but current provision is dominated by team sports and thus, there is a need for non-sport specific PA clubs. Furthermore, there is a need to find cost-effective methods of delivering after-school PA programmes.
