The United States' first National Physical Activity Plan is now under development. This plan follows the release of new physical activity guidelines and seeks to address the nation's ongoing physical inactivity and obesity crisis. For this plan to be successful, all facets of American culture need to unify behind its recommendations and action steps. Guidance for this plan involves active participation from a variety of sectors, including the park, recreation, fitness, and sport (PRFS) sector.
In this white paper, we discuss the potential of the PRFS sector in addressing America's physical inactivity. Specifically, we provide a brief description, history, and scope of the PRFS sector; present evidence concerning linkages between this sector and physical activity; and discuss existing challenges and emerging opportunities for promoting physical activity. We conclude by suggesting PRFS recommendations to promote physical activity based on anticipated effectiveness, reach, scope, and sustainability.
Academic articles, professional reports, and physical activity plans were reviewed to summarize the evidence concerning PRFS sector strategies for increasing physical activity.
Based on our review, we propose several sector-specific proximity, place, program, partnership, promotion, people, policy, and performance indicator recommendations for improving physical activity in the United States.
美国首个国家体育活动计划正在制定中。该计划是在新的体育活动指南发布之后推出的，旨在应对美国持续存在的身体活动不足和肥胖危机。要使该计划取得成功，美国文化的各个方面都需要团结起来支持其建议和行动步骤。该计划的指导工作需要包括公园、娱乐、健身和体育（PRFS）部门在内的多个部门积极参与。
在本白皮书中，我们探讨PRFS部门在解决美国身体活动不足问题方面的潜力。具体而言，我们简要介绍了PRFS部门的情况、历史和范围；展示了有关该部门与身体活动之间联系的证据；并讨论了促进身体活动方面现有的挑战和新出现的机会。我们通过根据预期效果、覆盖范围、范围和可持续性提出PRFS促进身体活动的建议来得出结论。
查阅学术文章、专业报告和体育活动计划，以总结有关PRFS部门增加身体活动策略的证据。
基于我们的审查，我们提出了几项针对特定部门的建议，涉及接近度、场所、项目、伙伴关系、推广、人员、政策和绩效指标等方面，以改善美国的身体活动情况。
