To determine Australian primary school principals', teachers', and parents' attitudes to changing school uniform policies to allow students to wear sports uniforms every day and to assess associations between participant characteristics and their attitudes. A secondary aim was to identify principals' and teachers' perceived barriers to uniform changes.
Cross-sectional surveys of principals, teachers, and parents of children in grades 2 to 3 (age 7-10 y) from 62 Australian primary schools (Oct 2017-Mar 2018) were undertaken. Mixed logistic regression analyses assessed the associations between participant characteristics and attitudes toward uniform changes.
In total, 73% of the principals (38/52) who responded reported that their school only allowed children to wear a sports uniform on sports days. Overall, 38% of the principals (18/47), 63% of the teachers (334/579), and 78% of the parents (965/1231) reported they would support a policy that allowed children to wear daily sports uniforms. The most commonly reported barrier was the perception that sports uniforms were not appropriate for formal occasions.
Although the majority of the principals were not supportive of a change to a daily sports uniform, the majority of the teachers and parents were. Strategies to improve principal support may be required if broader adoption of physical activity-supporting uniforms is to be achieved.
为了确定澳大利亚小学校长、教师和家长对改变校服政策的态度，允许学生每天穿运动服，并评估参与者特征与其态度之间的关联。次要目的是确定校长和教师对校服变革的感知障碍。
对 62 所澳大利亚小学（2017 年 10 月至 2018 年 3 月）的 2 至 3 年级（7-10 岁）学生的校长、教师和家长进行了横断面调查。混合逻辑回归分析评估了参与者特征与对校服变革态度之间的关联。
共有 52 名校长中的 73%（38 名）表示他们的学校只允许学生在运动日穿运动服。总体而言，47 名校长中有 38%（18 名）、579 名教师中有 63%（334 名）和 1231 名家长中有 78%（965 名）表示支持允许学生穿日常运动服的政策。最常报告的障碍是认为运动服不适合正式场合。
尽管大多数校长不支持改变为日常运动服，但大多数教师和家长表示支持。如果要广泛采用支持体育活动的校服，可能需要采取策略来提高校长的支持度。
