导语：缺乏体力活动是21世纪最大的挑战之一。体力活动政策研究网络(PAPRN)是2004年建立的一个专题网络，目的是确定有效增加体力活动的政策的决定因素、执行情况和结果。本研究的目的是描述PAPRN的产品，并对未来的研究和最佳实践提出建议。方法：采用混合方法获取网络上的定量和定性数据。首先，在2014年，对PAPRN 2004年至2014年的传播产品进行了摘录和审查，包括57份出版物和56份演示文稿。接下来，对来自美国17个地点的25名关键网络参与者进行了半结构化定性访谈。结果：访谈结果表明，研究网络解决了其使命的几个组成部分，包括体力活动政策的确定、这些政策的决定因素以及政策实施的过程。然而，关注体力活动政策结果的研究是有限的。最佳实践包括研究人员和实践者之间的合作以及实践者参与研究设计、数据收集和结果传播。结论：PAPRN是一个富有成效的研究网络的范例，在过去十年中对体力活动政策研究的过程和内容做出了贡献。未来的研究应该强调体力活动政策的结果。此外，应加强与从业人员的伙伴关系，开展协作、跨部门的体力活动政策研究。(C)《2016美国预防医学杂志》。由爱思唯尔公司出版。
Introduction: Lack of physical activity is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. The Physical Activity Policy Research Network (PAPRN) is a thematic network established in 2004 to identify determinants, implementation, and outcomes of policies that are effective in increasing physical activity. The purpose of this study is to describe the products of PAPRN and make recommendations for future research and best practices.Methods: A mixed methods approach was used to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data on the network. First, in 2014, PAPRN's dissemination products from 2004 to 2014 were extracted and reviewed, including 57 publications and 56 presentations. Next, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 key network participants from 17 locations around the U.S. The transcripts were transcribed and coded.Results: The results of the interviews indicated that the research network addressed several components of its mission, including the identification of physical activity policies, determinants of these policies, and the process of policy implementation. However, research focusing on physical activity policy outcomes was limited. Best practices included collaboration between researchers and practitioners and involvement of practitioners in research design, data collection, and dissemination of results.Conclusions: PAPRN is an example of a productive research network and has contributed to both the process and content of physical activity policy research over the past decade. Future research should emphasize physical activity policy outcomes. Additionally, increased partnerships with practitioners for collaborative, cross-sectoral physical activity policy research should be developed. (C) 2016 American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
