关于个人社会资本和体育活动的研究倾向于关注体育活动、广义信任和社会参与之间的联系。关于网络社会资本(即通过一个人的社会关系获得的资源)与身体不活动之间的关联，人们知之甚少。使用正式的社会资本网络测量方法，本研究考察了网络资本的哪个特定维度(即多样性、可及性和范围)与身体缺乏活动有关，以及网络社会资本是否中介了身体缺乏活动与社会参与之间的联系。数据来自2008年蒙特利尔(加拿大)邻里关系和健康老龄化调查，其中调查了300个蒙特利尔社区中2707名25岁及以上的成年人。使用国际体力活动问卷(IPAQ)自我报告体力活动。IPAQ指南为身体不活动的截止时间提供了依据。使用位置产生器测量网络社会资本。多水平的逻辑方法被用来检验缺乏身体活动和个人社会资本维度之间的联系，同时对社会人口和经济因素进行调整。网络多样性越高，身体不活动的可能性就越低。与之前的发现一致，没有参加任何正式协会的人比那些高水平参与的人更有可能身体不活跃。网络多样性在缺乏运动和参与之间的联系中起到了中介作用。普遍的信任以及覆盖范围和范围的网络组成部分与身体不活动没有关联。研究结果强调了社会参与和网络社会资本的重要性，以及网络测量在社会资本和身体不活动研究中的附加值。以成年人缺乏体力活动为目标的基于人群的计划可以考虑生态层面的干预措施，利用联想参与和人际关系来改善人口层面的体力活动。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Research on individual social capital and physical activity has tended to focus on the association among physical activity, generalized trust, and social participation. Less is known about the association between network social capital, i.e., the resources accessed through one's social connections, and physical inactivity. Using formal network measures of social capital, this study examined which specific dimension of network capital (i.e. diversity, reach and range) was associated with physical inactivity, and whether network social capital mediated the association between physical inactivity and social participation. Data came from the 2008 Montreal (Canada) Neighbourhood Networks and Healthy Aging survey, in which 2707 adults 25 years and older in 300 Montreal neighbourhoods were surveyed. Physical activity was self-reported using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). IPAQ guidelines provided the basis for the physical inactivity cutoff. Network social capital was measured with a position generator instrument. Multilevel logistic methods were used to examine the association between physical inactivity and individual social capital dimensions, while adjusting for socio-demographic and -economic factors. Higher network diversity was associated with a decreased likelihood of physical inactivity. Consistent with previous findings, individuals who did not participate in any formal associations were more likely to be physically inactive compared to those with high levels of participation. Network diversity mediated the association between physical inactivity and participation. Generalized trust and the network components of reach and range were not shown associated with physical inactivity. Findings highlight the importance of social participation and network social capital and the added value of network measures in the study of social capital and physical inactivity. Population-based programs targeting physical inactivity among adults might consider ecological-level interventions that leverage associational involvement and interpersonal relationships to improve population-level physical activity.
