Architects of the United States national physical activity plan can benefit from a thorough understanding of national physical activity plans from other nations. The purpose of this paper was to search for and analyze comprehensive national physical activity plan documents that can best inform the development of the U.S. plan.
Electronic databases were searched for national physical activity plan documents, yielding 252 documents from 56 countries. After eliminating documents that were not written in English, did not address physical activity primarily, and did not meet our definition of a national physical activity plan, we were left with physical activity plans from 6 countries-Australia, United Kingdom, Scotland, Sweden, Northern Ireland, and Norway.
Architects of the U.S. plan can learn as much from what was present in many documents as from what was absent. Examples of recommended components of national plans have been identified and highlighted for each of the 6 countries. Missing from all but 1 national plan document was a detailed process for accountability. Providing a clear path and detailed process of accountability will assist greatly in measuring short- and long-term success of the U.S. plan.
美国国家身体活动计划的设计者可以从其他国家的国家身体活动计划中受益匪浅。本文的目的是搜索和分析能够为美国计划的制定提供最佳信息的全面的国家身体活动计划文件。
电子数据库中搜索了国家身体活动计划文件，从 56 个国家中得到了 252 份文件。在剔除了不是用英语撰写的、主要不涉及身体活动的、不符合我们对国家身体活动计划的定义的文件后，我们留下了来自 6 个国家（澳大利亚、英国、苏格兰、瑞典、北爱尔兰和挪威）的身体活动计划。
美国计划的设计者可以从许多文件中所呈现的内容中学到很多东西，而不仅仅是从缺失的内容中学到。为 6 个国家中的每一个国家确定并突出了国家计划中推荐的组成部分。除了 1 份国家计划文件外，所有文件都没有详细的问责制流程。提供明确的问责制路径和详细流程将极大地帮助衡量美国计划的短期和长期成功。
