背景：公园的可用性与儿童和青少年的身体活动水平较高有关。很少有研究探讨实际的公园使用和公园为基础的体力活动在这些population.Purpose：本研究探讨个人，公园和邻里环境特征和儿童和青少年的公园为基础的体力活动之间的关联。方法：数据收集在2007年2712名儿童在20个随机选择的公园在达勒姆NC。社区游戏和娱乐观察系统（SOPARC）提供了体育活动的衡量标准。分层回归分析评估个人，公园和邻里环境特征和儿童的公园为基础的体育活动之间的关联。结果：2712名儿童中，34.2%的儿童进行过步行或剧烈运动，13.2%的儿童进行过剧烈运动。公园的环境特征与活动水平相关，而邻里特征则不相关。体力活动与性别（女孩）（p = 0.003）、父母的存在（p < 0.0001）、非父母成年人的存在（p = 0.006）以及涉及0-5岁年龄组和游戏风格的相互作用（p = 0.017）呈负相关。较高水平的体力活动与其他活跃儿童的存在相关（p < 0.0001）;法院（e。例如，在一个实施例中，basketball）;和娱乐设施和正式活动的数量之间的相互作用（p = 0.004）。结论：这些社会因素和设计特点应被考虑，以刺激儿童和青少年更高水平的公园为基础的体育活动。(Am J Prev Med 2011; 41（3）：258-265）（C）2011年美国预防医学杂志
Background: Availability of parks is associated with higher levels of physical activity among children and adolescents. Few studies examine actual park use and park-based physical activity in these populations.Purpose: This study examined associations among individual, park, and neighborhood environmental characteristics and children's and adolescent's park-based physical activity.Methods: Data were collected in 2007 on 2712 children in 20 randomly selected parks in Durham NC. The System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC) provided measures of physical activity. Hierarchic regression analysis assessed associations among individual, park, and neighborhood environmental characteristics and children's park-based physical activity. Data were analyzed in 2010.Results: Of the 2712 children observed, 34.2% and 13.2% were engaged in walking or vigorous physical activity. Environmental features of parks were associated with activity levels whereas neighborhood characteristics were not. Physical activity was negatively associated with gender (girls) (p = 0.003); presence of a parent (p < 0.0001); presence of nonparental adult (p = 0.006); and an interaction involving the 0-5 years age group and style of play (p = 0.017). Higher level of physical activity was associated with presence of other active children (p < 0.0001); courts (e. g., basketball); and an interaction between number of recreation facilities and formal activities (p = 0.004).Conclusions: These social factors and design features should be considered in order to stimulate higher levels of park-based physical activity among children and adolescents.
