BACKGROUND This systematic review aimed to identify and critically assess available instruments for the analysis of national-level physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) policies and provide recommendations for their future use. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of academic and grey literature through six bibliographic databases, Google and the websites of three international organisations for PA promotion to identify instruments that are used or that may be used for national-level PA/SB policy analysis. In order to describe and categorise the identified instruments, we used the Comprehensive Analysis of Policy on Physical Activity framework. This framework specifies the elements of a comprehensive analysis of PA/SB policies through the following categories: purpose, level, policy sector, type of policy, stages of policy cycle and scope of analysis. RESULTS Out of 22,071 screened items, 26 publications describing 16 instruments met the selection criteria. All the instruments can be used for analysing PA policy, whilst only two include questions about SB policy. None of the instruments allow for the analysis of all the relevant components of national PA/SB policy. Some important elements of PA policy analysis, such as the tourism and research sectors, the agenda-setting and endorsement/legitimisation stages, and the effects of policy, are addressed by only a few instruments. Moreover, none of the instruments address unwritten formal statements, informal policies, and the termination and succession stages of the policy cycle. CONCLUSION Designing new instruments or adapting existing ones is needed to allow for a more thorough analysis of national PA and SB policies. Given that policy analysis covering all important components of PA/SB policy may be extremely time-consuming, a way forward might be to develop a set of complementary instruments, with each tool collecting detailed information about a specific component.

对用于分析国家一级体育活动和久坐行为政策的工具的系统审查。

背景技术这项系统的审查旨在确定和严格评估可用于分析国家一级体育活动（PA）和久坐行为（SB）政策的可用工具，并为它们的未来使用提供建议。方法我们通过六个书目数据库，谷歌和三个国际组织的PA推广系统地搜索了学术和灰色文献，以识别用于或可能用于国家级PA / SB政策分析的工具。为了描述和分类已识别的工具，我们使用了《体育活动政策综合分析》框架。该框架通过以下类别指定了对PA / SB政策进行全面分析的元素：目的，级别，政策部门，政策类型，政策周期的阶段和分析范围。结果在筛选的22,071个项目中，描述16种仪器的26种出版物符合选择标准。所有工具都可以用于分析PA策略，而只有两个工具包含有关SB策略的问题。没有一种工具可以分析国家PA / SB政策的所有相关组成部分。巴勒斯坦权力机构政策分析的一些重要要素，例如旅游业和研究部门，议程设定和认可/合法化阶段以及政策的影响，仅通过一些手段来解决。此外，这些文书都没有涉及未成文的正式声明，非正式政策以及政策周期的终止和继承阶段。结论需要设计新的工具或改编现有的工具，以便对国家PA和SB政策进行更全面的分析。鉴于对PA / SB政策的所有重要组成部分进行政策分析可能会非常耗时，因此一种解决方法可能是开发一套补充性工具，每种工具都会收集有关特定组成部分的详细信息。
