这期杂志上的大多数论文都以这样或那样的方式讨论了体育活动与建筑环境之间的关系。这个问题是美国国家研究委员会（NRC）最近一项研究的核心，该研究在报告《建筑环境会影响身体活动吗？》当前位置研究证据1这项研究的动机是，特别是在公共卫生界，对美国人缺乏足够的体育活动参与的深切关注，以及对建筑环境的变化在多大程度上有助于增加活动水平的好奇。NRC的研究强调，如果要充分了解建筑环境与身体活动的关系，以了解建筑环境的变化是否以及如何影响人口水平的身体活动，从而值得做出这种改变的成本，就迫切需要沿着几个方向进行研究。在这篇简短的评论中，我的目标首先是提供NRC研究及其建议的概述，其次是评估本期论文有助于缩小NRC研究确定的研究差距的方式。
Most of the papers in this issue speak, one way or another, to the question of how physical activity is, or might be, related to the built environment. This question was at the heart of a recent National Research Council (NRC) a study, which culminated in the report, Does the Built Environment Influence Physical Activity?: Examining the Evidence. 1 The study was motivated by deep concern, especially within the public health community, about the lack of sufficient participation in physical activity among Americans and by curiosity about the extent to which changes to the built environment might help to increase levels of activity. The NRC study highlighted the pressing need for research along several lines if the built environment-physical activity relationship is to be understood sufficiently well to know if and how changes in the built environment might effect large-enough changes in population-level physical activity to be worth the cost of making such changes. My goals in this brief commentary are first, to provide an overview of the NRC study and its recommendations and second, to assess the ways in which the papers in this issue help to close the research gaps that the NRC study identified.
