The primary objective of this systematic review was to synthesise peer-reviewed quantitative research of outcomes associated with participation in parkrun. The secondary objective was to synthesise the quantitative research of factors influencing why, and how often, individuals participate in parkrun. Studies were identified via electronic search of Medline, AMED, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Informit, PsychInfo, SportDiscus, and Web of Science, to 30 March 2021. Two reviewers independently assessed methodological quality. Eleven studies (18,203 participants) were included. Limited evidence from pre-post measure single-group prospective studies suggests parkrun participation promotes improvements in fitness, body mass index, physical activity levels, mood, and personal wellbeing. Individuals with non-running backgrounds generally had higher levels of participation. The main motivators to participate were to improve fitness and social interaction. Future attendance was most strongly correlated with historical attendance. There is a small evidence base for improvements in broad measures of physical and mental health from participation in parkrun. In addition, the study found improving physical fitness and social wellbeing were the main self-reported factors for participation in parkrun. Further research is needed to strengthen the knowledge base of the effects of parkrun to determine its efficacy as a health intervention strategy for physical and mental health.
本系统评价的主要目的是综合同行评审的定量研究结果，这些结果与参与 parkrun 相关的结局有关。次要目的是综合定量研究结果，这些结果影响个体参与 parkrun 的原因和频率。研究通过电子检索 Medline、AMED、CINAHL、Cochrane 图书馆、Informit、PsychInfo、SportDiscus 和 Web of Science，截至 2021 年 3 月 30 日。两名审查员独立评估方法学质量。纳入了 11 项研究（18203 名参与者）。来自前后测单组前瞻性研究的有限证据表明，参与 parkrun 可促进健康、体重指数、身体活动水平、情绪和个人幸福感的改善。非跑步背景的个体通常具有更高的参与度。参与的主要动机是改善健康和社交互动。未来的参与度与历史参与度相关性最强。有少量证据表明，参与 parkrun 可改善广泛的身心健康指标。此外，研究发现，改善身体健康和社交幸福感是参与 parkrun 的主要自我报告因素。需要进一步研究来加强 parkrun 对健康影响的知识库，以确定其作为身心健康干预策略的疗效。
