: Physical inactivity is a major global issue affecting health. Promoting, supporting and encouraging physical activity amongst community-dwelling adults is essential. An intermediary is a clinical or non-clinical professional based in primary care, community or voluntary settings. They support individuals referred to them to connect with appropriate community services with the goal of improving health and wellbeing. This may be a promising method to establish a connection to local physical activity and exercise; however the process has been poorly described to date. : The objectives of this scoping review will be to identify and summarise the literature describing the process of connecting community-dwelling adults to an intermediary, the characteristics of these adults, the processes (role, practice and procedure) of an intermediary in connecting these adults to local physical activity and exercise opportunities, and to map these processes of connection to outcomes. : This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the scoping review methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute. A comprehensive search strategy will identify relevant studies in Embase, Medline, Web of Science and CINAHL, along with a structured grey literature search. Studies which describe an intermediary connecting community-dwelling adults (aged ≥18 years) to local physical activity and exercise will be included. Data will be charted and narratively summarised. Intermediary processes will be mapped to outcomes related to physical activity, and the PAGER (patterns, advances, gaps, evidence for practice and research recommendations) framework will be used to identify evidence gaps and research recommendations. This scoping review will be the first to describe the process of an intermediary connecting community dwelling adults to local physical activity and exercise. This review will identify, map and summarise the existing research on the processes and outcomes. The results will also identify any evidence gaps and will guide future research.
缺乏身体活动是影响健康的一个主要全球性问题。在社区居住的成年人中推广、支持和鼓励身体活动至关重要。中介是在初级保健、社区或志愿环境中工作的临床或非临床专业人员。他们支持转介给他们的个人与适当的社区服务建立联系，以改善健康和福祉。这可能是建立与当地身体活动和锻炼联系的一种有前景的方法；然而，迄今为止，这一过程的描述还很不完善。
本范围综述的目的是识别和总结描述将社区居住成年人与中介联系起来的过程、这些成年人的特征、中介将这些成年人与当地身体活动和锻炼机会联系起来的过程（角色、实践和程序），并将这些联系过程与结果进行映射。
本范围综述将按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的范围综述方法进行。全面的检索策略将在Embase、Medline、科学引文索引和护理学与健康领域数据库中识别相关研究，同时进行结构化的灰色文献检索。将纳入描述中介将社区居住成年人（年龄≥18岁）与当地身体活动和锻炼联系起来的研究。数据将被制表并进行叙述性总结。中介过程将与身体活动相关的结果进行映射，并且将使用PAGER（模式、进展、差距、实践证据和研究建议）框架来识别证据差距和研究建议。本范围综述将首次描述中介将社区居住成年人与当地身体活动和锻炼联系起来的过程。本综述将识别、映射和总结关于这些过程和结果的现有研究。结果还将识别任何证据差距，并为未来的研究提供指导。
