The use of Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) has been recommended to help students achieve 60-minutes of physical activity each day. Implementing a CSPAP requires planning, coordination, and ongoing oversight, but an understudied factor is how principal support influences CSPAP implementation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of principal support on CSPAP implementation. Schools in the Iowa FitnessGram Initiative ( = 84), a participatory network of schools committed to supporting physical education and wellness efforts, were invited to participate in the study. Physical education teachers from 42 schools completed a survey assessing CSPAP implementation and principal support for school wellness. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were used to report associations between the variables. A regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of principal support on CSPAP implementation. . Almost half of the schools were reported to be fully implementing just one CSPAP component and no school was reported to be fully implementing all five. The CSPAP component with the highest reported level of implementation was quality physical education, while the lowest level of implementation was reported for family and community engagement and staff involvement. The regression analysis identified that principal support was a significant predictor of CSPAP implementation, = 0.55, (37) = 3.10, < .004. . Principal support is associated with implementation of CSPAP initiatives. Strategies that focus on how to attain principal support for CSPAP initiatives are needed and could have a significant impact on student physical activity and health.
综合学校体育活动计划（CSPAP）的使用已被推荐用于帮助学生每天达到 60 分钟的体育活动。实施 CSPAP 需要规划、协调和持续监督，但一个研究不足的因素是校长支持如何影响 CSPAP 的实施。本研究的目的是评估校长支持对 CSPAP 实施的影响。
爱荷华州健身计划（= 84）中的学校被邀请参加这项研究，这是一个参与性的学校网络，致力于支持体育教育和健康计划。来自 42 所学校的体育教师完成了一项调查，评估 CSPAP 的实施情况和校长对学校健康的支持。描述性统计和相关分析用于报告变量之间的关联。回归分析用于评估校长支持对 CSPAP 实施的影响。
几乎一半的学校报告说只完全实施了 CSPAP 的一个组成部分，没有学校报告说完全实施了所有五个组成部分。报告实施水平最高的 CSPAP 组成部分是优质体育教育，而报告实施水平最低的是家庭和社区参与以及员工参与。回归分析确定校长支持是 CSPAP 实施的一个重要预测因素，= 0.55，（37）= 3.10，<.004。
校长支持与 CSPAP 计划的实施相关。需要关注如何获得校长对 CSPAP 计划的支持的策略，这可能对学生的体育活动和健康产生重大影响。
