To increase levels of physical activity (PA), interventions that create or enhance access to places for PA are recommended. Establishing a joint use agreement is one way to increase access to existing PA and recreational facilities. The purpose of this article is to present a case study of In-Motion, a pilot joint use agreement project at one urban high school in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Residents of urban Honolulu are underserved by the amount of parkland and recreational facilities available for their use. The Honolulu County Department of Parks and Recreation sought to implement a joint use agreement to use the facilities of one urban high school for a recreational program. The high school selected for the pilot project has a student population primarily from low-income and ethnic minority backgrounds.
An assessment of the potential of 7 urban high schools to implement a joint use agreement was conducted to select the pilot site. In-Motion developed and implemented a joint use agreement. PA preferences of students, staff, and community members were assessed to guide recreational program offerings. Various recreational classes were offered free to the school community.
Several barriers to implementing the joint use agreement and recreational program were encountered. However, participants were satisfied with the recreational classes they attended and said that the In-Motion program helped them to engage in more PA. Program awareness by high school students and staff was high.
In-Motion has successfully modeled a pilot joint use agreement and provided new opportunities for PA to the high school's students, teachers, and staff, and to community residents.
为了提高身体活动（PA）水平，建议采取干预措施，创造或增加人们使用PA场所的机会。建立联合使用协议是增加使用现有PA和娱乐设施机会的一种方式。本文旨在介绍“行动起来”（In-Motion）的案例研究，这是夏威夷檀香山一所城市高中的一个联合使用协议试点项目。
檀香山市区居民可使用的公园用地和娱乐设施不足。檀香山郡公园与娱乐部寻求实施一项联合使用协议，以便将一所城市高中的设施用于一项娱乐项目。被选为试点项目的这所高中的学生主要来自低收入和少数族裔背景。
对7所城市高中实施联合使用协议的潜力进行了评估，以选择试点地点。“行动起来”制定并实施了一项联合使用协议。对学生、教职员工和社区成员的PA偏好进行了评估，以指导娱乐项目的提供。为学校社区免费提供了各种娱乐课程。
在实施联合使用协议和娱乐项目时遇到了一些障碍。然而，参与者对他们参加的娱乐课程感到满意，并表示“行动起来”项目帮助他们增加了PA。高中生和教职员工对该项目的知晓度很高。
“行动起来”成功地为联合使用协议建立了一个试点模式，并为该高中的学生、教师和工作人员以及社区居民提供了新的PA机会。
