美国基督教青年会于2011年通过了夏令营（SDC）的身体活动（PA）标准。标准要求增加儿童的PA，以及增加与创造一个活动友好的环境，如角色建模和口头宣传PA相关的工作人员行为。本研究的目的是评估旨在满足YMCA PA标准的策略。四个YMCA SDC参与了这项前/多后测试研究。提高工作人员专业人员晋升的战略包括持续的专业发展培训、讲习班和技术支持。员工行为和儿童PA的变化分别通过观察系统的员工促进活动和营养和系统的观察游戏和休闲时间的青年。13个工作人员PA促销行为中有9个表现出在预期方向上的统计学显着变化。例如，从基线到最终评估，工作人员参与有孩子的PA增加了11.4%（25.4%对36.8%），而空闲时间减少了42.4%（53.1%对10.7%）。在计划的PA期间观察到久坐的女孩和男孩的百分比分别下降了16.9%和17.4%，而中度到剧烈的体力活动分别增加了3.3%和3.5%。活动水平的变化因年级而异。这里的策略显示出影响员工行为的希望，反过来，儿童PA。要使变革持续下去，可能需要继续提供支助。
The YMCA of USA adopted Physical Activity (PA) Standards for summer day camps (SDC) in 2011. Standards call for increasing children's PA, as well as, increasing staff behaviors related to creating an activity-friendly environment, such as role modeling and verbally promoting PA. The objective of this study was to evaluate strategies designed to meet the YMCA PA Standards. Four YMCA SDCs participated in this pre/multiple-post test study. Strategies to increase staff PA promotion included ongoing professional development training, workshops, and technical support. Changes in staff behaviors and child PA were measured via the System for Observing Staff Promotion of Activity and Nutrition and the System for Observing Play and Leisure Time in Youth, respectively. Nine of 13 staff PA promotion behaviors demonstrated statistically significant changes in the desired direction. For example, staff engagement in PA with children increased by 11.4% (25.4% vs. 36.8%), while idle-time fell by 42.4% (53.1% vs. 10.7%) from baseline to final assessment. The percentage of girls and boys observed sedentary during scheduled PA decreased by 16.9% and 17.4%, while moderate-to-vigorous physical activity increased 3.3% and 3.5%, respectively. Changes in activity levels varied by grade level. Strategies herein show promise for impacting staff behaviors and, in-turn, child PA. Continued support is likely required if changes are to be sustained.
