Abstract
Background: The advent of full-time virtual schooling presents unique challenges and opportunities for the promotion of physical activity (PA) among children and adolescents. Despite the recognized benefits of PA as an essential component for combating non-communicable diseases and ensuring holistic development, there is a notable gap in understanding how to effectively integrate PA within the digital learning environments of full-time virtual schools. Current efforts to promote student PA are targeted for implementation exclusively in contexts characterized by physical school campuses that are bound to their surrounding local communities. This is problematic given the digital, widely distributed, and contextually unmoored nature of virtual schooling. Our aim in this scoping review is to advance research on whole-of-school physical activity promotion within full-time virtual schools by examining the published literature on whole-of-school PA promotion within full-time virtual schools. Specifically, this review will map the literature, consolidate knowledge claims and practical implications, and identify evidence gaps that merit further investigation.
Methods/design: This review will be conducted using evidence-informed scoping review methodology and reporting guidelines. Articles will be included if they are peer-reviewed English-language research, commentary, practical, or grey literature and relate to the participation, support, design, development, and/or provision of remote online PA interventions delivered through primary/elementary and/or secondary/middle school/high schools. Searches will be conducted in PsycInfo, ERIC, SportDiscus, and Web of Science. Additional hand-searching, reference scans, and grey literature searches will also be performed. Two trained research assistants will independently complete study screening and selection and data charting with guidance from a senior author. Charted data will be displayed in table form, and depending on the results, data will also be synthesized through qualitative content analysis using the Active Schools guiding framework as an analytical and interpretive lens.
Discussion: This scoping review will serve as a guidepost for the application and advancement of research on whole-of-school PA promotion through full-time virtual schools. The results will address the increased importance of equitable online learning and PA promotion due to the expanding virtual education landscape, with implications for public health and education policy.

背景:全日制虚拟学校的出现为促进儿童和青少年的体育锻炼(PA)带来了独特的挑战和机遇。尽管体育锻炼是防治非传染性疾病和确保全面发展的重要组成部分,其益处已得到公认,但在如何将体育锻炼有效融入全日制虚拟学校的数字化学习环境方面仍存在明显差距。目前,促进学生体育锻炼的工作仅针对以实体校园为特点的实施环境,而实体校园又与周围的当地社区紧密相连。考虑到虚拟学校教育的数字化、广泛分布和与环境无关的性质,这种做法是有问题的。我们本次范围界定综述的目的是,通过研究已发表的有关在全日制虚拟学校内促进全校体育活动的文献,推动有关在全日制虚拟学校内促进全校体育活动的研究。具体而言,本综述将绘制文献地图,整合知识主张和实际影响,并确定值得进一步调查的证据缺口:本综述将采用循证范围界定综述方法和报告指南。如果文章是经同行评审的英文研究、评论、实践或灰色文献,且与通过小学/初级和/或中学/初中/高中提供的远程在线 PA 干预的参与、支持、设计、开发和/或提供有关,则将被纳入。检索将在 PsycInfo、ERIC、SportDiscus 和 Web of Science 中进行。此外,还将进行手工检索、参考文献扫描和灰色文献检索。两名训练有素的研究助理将在资深作者的指导下独立完成研究筛选和数据图表制作。图表数据将以表格形式显示,根据结果,还将使用 "积极学校 "指导框架作为分析和解释视角,通过定性内容分析对数据进行综合:本范围综述将为通过全日制虚拟学校促进全校 PA 研究的应用和发展提供指导。研究结果将探讨由于虚拟教育领域的不断扩大,公平在线学习和 PA 促进的重要性日益增加,对公共卫生和教育政策产生的影响:开放科学框架:https://osf.io/f6wau/ 。
期刊介绍:
Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
