There is limited knowledge about how a settings-based approach can be best applied in a sports club setting. This qualitative exploratory study examined whether and how sporting programs focusing on individual behavior change (i.e., increasing physical activity levels of inactive people) and implemented on the micro-level of the sports club, can be a first step towards a settings-based approach (i.e., inclusion of the meso- and macro-level of the sports club). In addition, this study explored factors that influenced the inclusion of the meso- and macro-level of the sports club. Telephone interviews were conducted with representatives of sixteen sports clubs about program activities on all levels of the sports club. Thematic analyses were performed to explore stimulating and hindering factors. After multiple years, six sports clubs also had program activities on the meso-level and twelve sports clubs had activities on the macro-level. Program activities differed per level within a sports club and on the same level between sports clubs. Cultural and social factors influenced macro-level activities, while predominantly economic factors influenced meso-level activities. Based on these factors, sports clubs could develop, prioritize, and choose strategies that support them in developing a settings-based approach when increasing physical activity levels of inactive citizens.
关于如何在体育俱乐部环境中最好地应用基于环境的方法，人们知之甚少。本定性探索性研究探讨了以个人行为改变为重点（即增加不活跃人群的体育活动水平）的体育项目，以及在体育俱乐部的微观层面上实施的项目，是否以及如何可以作为基于环境的方法（即纳入体育俱乐部的中观和宏观层面）的第一步。此外，本研究还探讨了影响纳入体育俱乐部中观和宏观层面的因素。研究人员对 16 个体育俱乐部的代表进行了电话访谈，了解了俱乐部各级的项目活动情况。通过主题分析来探讨促进因素和阻碍因素。经过多年，有 6 个体育俱乐部在中观层面开展了项目活动，有 12 个体育俱乐部在宏观层面开展了项目活动。体育俱乐部内各级的项目活动存在差异，而且同一级别的不同体育俱乐部之间也存在差异。文化和社会因素影响宏观层面的活动，而经济因素主要影响中观层面的活动。基于这些因素，体育俱乐部可以制定、优先考虑和选择策略，以支持它们在提高不活跃公民的体育活动水平时采用基于环境的方法。
