Physical activity (PA) levels in schools vary widely, and there is interest in studying how student PA accrual relates to school policy and environmental conditions. School PA policy research, however, is in its infancy and generalizable measurement tools do not exist. We developed and assessed reliability of items on the School Physical Activity Policy Assessment (S-PAPA), an instrument designed to assess school PA policy related to physical education (PE), recess, and other opportunities.
To develop items, we perused associated literature, examined existing instruments, and consulted school policy makers. For test-retest reliability assessment, 31 elementary school PE teachers completed the survey twice, 14 days apart.
S-PAPA uses open-ended, dichotomous, multichotomous, and checklist formatting and has 3 modules: 1) Physical Education (47 items), 2) Recess (27 items), and 3) Other Before, During, and After School Programs (15 items). Responses to more than 95% of items were highly related between Times 1 and 2. Generally, physical education and recess items had fair to substantial levels of agreement, and items about other school PA programs had fair to perfect agreement.
Test-retest results suggest S-PAPA items are reliable and useful in assessing PA policies in elementary schools.
学校的身体活动（PA）水平差异很大，人们对研究学生 PA 的积累与学校政策和环境条件的关系很感兴趣。然而，学校 PA 政策研究还处于起步阶段，不存在可推广的测量工具。我们开发并评估了学校身体活动政策评估（S-PAPA）的项目的可靠性，该工具旨在评估与体育教育（PE）、课间休息和其他机会相关的学校 PA 政策。
为了开发项目，我们查阅了相关文献，检查了现有的工具，并咨询了学校政策制定者。为了进行测试-重测可靠性评估，31 名小学体育教师在 14 天的时间里两次完成了调查。
S-PAPA 使用开放式、二分法、多分法和清单格式，有 3 个模块：1）体育教育（47 个项目），2）课间休息（27 个项目）和 3）其他课前、课中和课后项目（15 个项目）。在第 1 次和第 2 次测试中，超过 95%的项目的回答高度相关。总体而言，体育教育和课间休息项目的一致性为中等至高度，其他学校 PA 项目的项目的一致性为中等至完美。
测试-重测结果表明，S-PAPA 项目在评估小学 PA 政策方面是可靠和有用的。
