Rural residents are less physically active than their urban counterparts and disproportionately affected by chronic diseases and conditions associated with insufficient activity. While the ecological model has been successful in promoting and translating active living research in urban settings, relatively little research has been conducted in rural settings. The resulting research gap prohibits a comprehensive understanding and application of solutions for active living in rural America. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to assess the evidence base for an ecological model of active living for rural populations and outline key scientific gaps that inhibit the development and application of solutions. Specifically, we reexamined the 4 domains conceptualized by the model and suggest that there is a dearth of research specific to rural communities across all areas of the framework. Considering the limited rural-specific efforts, we propose areas that need addressing to mobilize rural active living researchers and practitioners into action.
农村居民的身体活动比城市居民少，且受与活动不足相关的慢性病和健康状况的影响尤为严重。虽然生态模型在促进和转化城市环境中的积极生活研究方面取得了成功，但在农村环境中进行的研究相对较少。由此产生的研究差距阻碍了对美国农村地区积极生活解决方案的全面理解和应用。因此，本文的目的是评估农村人口积极生活生态模型的证据基础，并概述阻碍解决方案开发和应用的关键科学差距。具体而言，我们重新审视了该模型概念化的四个领域，并指出在该框架的所有领域中，针对农村社区的研究都很匮乏。鉴于针对农村地区的特定努力有限，我们提出了需要解决的领域，以促使农村积极生活研究人员和从业者采取行动。
