The System of Observing Play and Leisure Activity in Youth (SOPLAY) has assisted in providing valid and reliable data of youth physical activity and characteristics specific to environmental contexts. The review aimed to examine empirical research that employed the SOPLAY instrument to measure physical activity in leisure-based activity environments in North American countries.
The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. A systematic search was conducted with an exhaustive process using 10 electronic databases to locate peer-reviewed studies implementing SOPLAY that were published between 2000 and 2021.
A total of 60 studies were included in the review. Most studies (n = 35) reported physical activity findings related to contextual characteristics measured using SOPLAY. Interestingly, a few of the studies (n = 8) found the provision of equipment and supervision, particularly adult supervision, significantly increased child physical activity observed.
This review provides information relative to the group-level physical activity observed across multiple contexts (ie, playgrounds, parks, recreation centers) using a validated direct observation instrument.
青少年观察游戏和休闲活动系统（SOPLAY）有助于提供关于青年身体活动的有效和可靠数据以及特定于环境背景的特征。本综述旨在检查在北美的以休闲为基础的活动环境中使用 SOPLAY 测量身体活动的实证研究。
本综述按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目进行。使用 10 个电子数据库进行了系统搜索，采用详尽的过程，以定位在 2000 年至 2021 年期间发表的使用 SOPLAY 实施的同行评审研究。
本综述共纳入 60 项研究。大多数研究（n=35）报告了与使用 SOPLAY 测量的环境特征相关的身体活动发现。有趣的是，少数研究（n=8）发现设备的提供和监督，特别是成人监督，显著增加了观察到的儿童身体活动。
本综述提供了有关使用经过验证的直接观察工具在多个环境（即游乐场、公园、娱乐中心）中观察到的群体水平身体活动的信息。
