每年有900多万人被监禁在监狱中，但对被监禁人口的身体活动没有进行评估。在监狱环境中测量身体活动是复杂的，因为目前的身体活动测量工具不是为监狱设施内使用而设计的。因此，我们采用了一种基于证据的身体活动测量工具，观察社区游戏和娱乐系统（SOPARC），以评估监狱设施内的身体活动。SOPARC的目的是获得个人体力活动的观测信息。研究小组为SOPARC创建了一个用于监狱设施的协议。与最初的SOPARC不同，在监狱中获得娱乐时间需要事先安排。由于娱乐空间被封闭，目标区域是不必要的。适用于监狱的SOPARC协议包括开始和结束时间，参加的人数，娱乐时间使用者的身体活动水平，鞋类，外套，制服颜色和移动辅助设备的使用。在监狱环境中使用SOPARC需要进行调整，以充分捕获被监禁个人的身体活动数据。准确测量被监禁的个人和他们活跃的环境中的身体活动，可以允许在监狱设施中的身体活动干预措施的未来发展和测试。
Over 9 million people are incarcerated in jail each year, but physical activity has not been assessed among incarcerated populations. Measuring physical activity in the jail setting is complicated as current physical activity measurement tools are not designed for use inside jail facilities. Therefore, we adapted an evidence-based physical activity measurement tool, the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC), to assess physical activity within a jail facility. SOPARC was designed to obtain observational information on physical activity of individuals. The study team created a protocol for SOPARC for use in jail facilities. Unlike the original SOPARC, access to recreation time in jail required prior scheduling. Target areas were unnecessary as recreation spaces were enclosed. The adapted SOPARC protocol for jails included start and end times, the number of individuals that attended, and recreation time users' physical activity levels, footwear, outerwear, uniform color, and use of mobility assistive devices. The use of SOPARC in the jail setting requires adaptation to adequately capture physical activity data among incarcerated individuals. Accurately measuring physical activity among incarcerated individuals and the environment in which they are active may allow for future development and testing of physical activity interventions in jail facilities.
