Basic information is needed to develop strategies for promoting physical activity (PA) in small business. This preliminary study described small business policies encouraging PA.
Interviews were completed at 98 small businesses (5-100 employees) in 2003. Business policies encouraging PA participation by employees and the public were assessed. Stage of Change was used to describe intentions to develop such policies.
A total of 53 PA policies (12 employee; 41 public) existed. The most common employee policy was incentives for gym memberships (41.7%). The most popular public policy was sport team sponsorships (60.1%). Most businesses (60.2%) were not thinking about creating a policy for PA while 33.7% had a policy in place (20.4% > 6 months).
Small businesses have few PA policies and most are not thinking about such policies. Research should determine why this is the case and what approaches could stimulate the development of PA policies.
制定促进小企业体育活动(PA)的策略需要基础信息。这项初步研究描述了鼓励体育活动的小企业政策。
2003年对98家小企业(5至100名员工)进行了访谈。评估了鼓励员工和公众参与体育活动的商业政策。采用变革阶段来描述制定此类政策的意图。
共存在53项体育活动政策(12项针对员工;41项针对公众)。最常见的员工政策是健身房会员激励措施(41.7%)。最受欢迎的公众政策是运动队赞助(60.1%)。大多数企业(60.2%)没有考虑制定体育活动政策,而33.7%已经制定了政策(20.4%实施时间超过6个月)。
小企业的体育活动政策很少,大多数企业没有考虑此类政策。研究应确定为何如此以及哪些方法可以刺激体育活动政策的制定。
