Evidence on the economic costs of physical inactivity and the cost-effectiveness of physical activity interventions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) is sparse, and fragmented where they are available. This is the first review aimed to summarise available evidence on economics of physical activity in LMICs, identify potential target variables for policy, and identify and report gaps in the current knowledge on economics of physical activity in LMICs.
Peer-reviewed journal articles of observational, experimental, quasi-experimental and mixed-method studies on economics of physical activity in LMICs will be identified by a search of electronic databases; Scopus, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus. Websites of WHO, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence international, World Bank and reference lists of included studies will be searched for relevant studies. The study selection process will be a two-stage approach; title and abstract screen for inclusion, followed by a review of selected full-text articles by two independent reviewers. Disagreements will be resolved by consensus and discussion with a third reviewer. Data will be extracted using standardised piloted data extraction forms. Risk of bias will be critically appraised using standard checklists based on study designs. Descriptive synthesis of data is planned. Where relevant, summaries of studies will be classified according to type of economic analysis, country or country category, population, intervention, comparator, outcome and study design. Meta-analysis will be performed where appropriate. This protocol for systematic review is prepared according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-analysis for Protocols -2015 statement.
Ethical approval is not obtained as original data will not be collected as part of this review. The completed review will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences.

关于身体活动的经济成本以及在低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）开展身体活动干预措施的成本效益的证据很少，而且在现有的证据中也是零散的。这是第一份旨在总结 LMICs 身体活动经济学现有证据的综述，确定政策的潜在目标变量，并确定和报告 LMICs 身体活动经济学知识方面的差距。
通过对电子数据库（Scopus、Web of Science 和 SPORTDiscus）进行搜索，将确定有关 LMICs 身体活动经济学的同行评审期刊文章，包括观察性、实验性、准实验性和混合方法研究。还将搜索世卫组织、国家卫生与保健卓越研究所国际、世界银行的网站以及纳入研究的参考文献列表，以寻找相关研究。研究选择过程将采用两阶段方法；首先是标题和摘要筛选，然后由两名独立评审员对选定的全文文章进行审查。如有分歧，将通过协商和与第三名评审员讨论解决。将使用标准化的预试数据提取表格提取数据。将根据研究设计使用基于标准检查表对偏倚风险进行严格评估。计划对数据进行描述性综合。在相关情况下，将根据经济分析类型、国家或国家类别、人群、干预措施、对照措施、结果和研究设计对研究摘要进行分类。在适当的情况下，将进行荟萃分析。本系统评价方案是根据 2015 年系统评价和荟萃分析报告的首选报告项目-方案声明制定的。
由于本综述不收集原始数据，因此无需获得伦理批准。完成的综述将提交给同行评审期刊发表，并在会议上展示。
