Physiotherapists are well positioned to use physical activity as a health promotion (HP) strategy. This review examines the degree to which physiotherapy literature includes physical activity as a component of HP in practice and education.
Databases PubMed, Science Direct, CINAHL, Amed and Pedro were searched using a combination of keywords. If title, abstract or keywords were relevant, we proceeded to do a complete review. Only peer reviewed English work covering original research was included. Discussion and opinion papers, reviews, epidemiological studies, case studies or work not specifically addressing integration of HP were excluded.
The information from 29 source articles was synthesized under the headings of acceptability of the HP role to physiotherapists and physiotherapy students; integration of HP into physiotherapy practice; HP interventions in physiotherapy practice; and HP in physiotherapy education and training. The findings were heterogenous, thereby limiting this review study to a scoping review.
More interventional research is needed to develop efficacious strategies integrating physical activity as a HP strategy in physiotherapy practice. Contemporary physiotherapy entry-level education curricula need benchmark standards for HP training such as physical activity.
物理治疗师非常适合将身体活动作为健康促进（HP）策略。本综述考察了物理治疗文献在实践和教育中将身体活动作为 HP 组成部分的程度。
使用关键词组合在 PubMed、Science Direct、CINAHL、Amed 和 Pedro 数据库中进行搜索。如果标题、摘要或关键词相关，我们将进行完整的综述。仅包括同行评审的英语原始研究工作。排除了讨论和意见论文、综述、流行病学研究、案例研究或未专门探讨 HP 整合的工作。
根据物理治疗师和物理治疗学生对 HP 角色的可接受性、将 HP 融入物理治疗实践、物理治疗实践中的 HP 干预措施以及物理治疗教育和培训这四个标题对 29 篇来源文章的信息进行了综合。研究结果存在异质性，因此本综述研究仅限于范围综述。
需要更多的干预性研究来制定有效的策略，将身体活动作为物理治疗实践中的 HP 策略。当代物理治疗入门级教育课程需要为 HP 培训（如身体活动）制定基准标准。
