Résumé
ObjectiveTo systematically review the types of health-promoting school (HPS) curriculum and physical activity-related health services based on the WHO-HPS framework, and their impact on health of children and adolescents. MethodsThe databases of EBSCO, PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI were searched on school-based physical activity-related services and their health benefits based on the WHO-HPS framework from 2017 to June, 2023. A systematic review of systematic reviews was conducted. ResultsA total of seven English articles were included, covering 147 studies from five countries including Switzerland, the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom and Sweden. The systematic reviews were published in the journals related to child physical education and health, HPS, and school-based physical activity. Based on the WHO-HPS framework, HPS curriculum implemented in schools primarily involved physical education classes (such as incorporating specialized sports programs like yoga and dance, increasing physical activity time) and health education programs related to physical activity. Additional activities included extracurricular programs (such as implementing children's sports, recreational and leisure programs, lunchtime enjoyment activities, and game plans, increasing physical activity time within regular school hours, creating opportunities for physical activity during breaks and after school, and providing daily physical activity plans) and integration of physical activity in other subjects. Physical activity-related health services mainly included health screening and monitoring related to physical activity, adolescent health management, and health promotion activities. The health benefits of the interventions included improvement in aerobic capacity, body mass index, cardiorespiratory function, overall physical health, and significant increases in muscle endurance and strength. They also contributed to the cessation or reduction of prolonged sedentary behavior, increased levels of all-day physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, increased physical activity participation, significant increases in physical activity during school hours, increased proportion of moderate to vigorous physical activity during school time, increased physical activity time, improved leisure and recreational time related to physical activity, enhanced vitality, school quality of life, and energy, improved academic performance, reduced television viewing time, decreased obesity risk, reduced anxiety, improved adaptability and happiness, and promoted positive mental health. Furthermore, there was a significant improvement in students' health-related knowledge on physical activity. ConclusionImplementing HPS curriculum and physical activity-related services in schools may improve various aspects of students' health, including physical fitness, physical activity and sedentary behavior, behavioral health related to physical activity, and health literacy related to physical activity.

The subjects of the investigation were totally 5 368 people, 2 673 girls, and 2 695 boys, including primary school students 2 848 (rural students 1 272, 1 576 urban), middle school students 2 520 (rural students 1 127, 1 393 urban). All the 5 368 questionnaires were returned, 5 366 were valid. Chi-square test was used to evaluate health knowledge awareness and behavior formation rate, P<0.05 was regarded as having statistical significance. Result Overall, the awareness rate of knowledge (84.5%) and behavior formation rate (76.5%) of girls were higher than those of boys (83.4%, 75.1%) (χ2=26.17, 13.23, P<0.05). The awareness rate of knowledge of primary school girls (83.1%) and their behavior formation rate (76.9%) were also higher than those of primary school boys (81.9%, 74.5%) (χ2=13.70, 21.58, P<0.05) city primary school students; knowledge rate (85%) and behavior formation rate (77.6%) of urban students were higher than those of rural students (80.2%, 74.1%) (χ2=226.99, 49.28, P<0.05). The awareness rate of knowledge of middle school girls (86.1%) was higher than that of middle school boys (85.1%) (χ2=9.73, P<0.05);awareness rate of knowledge (85.8%) of middle school urban students was higher than that of rural students (84.3%) (χ2=22.37, P<0.05). The awareness rate of silver and bronze school knowledge (84.0%, 84.0%) was higher than that of gold (80.6%) (χ2=19.02, 20.08, P<0.05);the gold medal school behavior formation rate (83.3%) was higher than that of silver and bronze school (76.2%, 75.4%) (χ2=30.57, 38.76, P<0.05), silverbehavior formation rate (76.2%) was higher than the that of bronze medal schools (75.4%) (χ2=3.99, P<0.05). Conclusion The school health promotion work is still focusing on health knowledge education stage, the awareness rates of knowledge and behavior formation rates are not completely consistent. Health promotion has not become a liability and the concept of the schools surveyed.
Résumé
PURPOSE: Health professionals and policy makers confront the failure of provider-administered, conventional behavioral interventions in the fight against obesity epidemic. The aim of this study was to develop a tailored, cost-effective delivery system for a child obesity prevention and management program through technology convergence using Web-enabled smart cellular phones. METHODS: Assessment of service needs and development of a delivery system for the program were based on a comprehensive literature review and expert reviews, and results from in-depth interviews and a need-assessment survey. RESULTS: The user- and site- centered service delivery system using Web-enabled cellular telephones as the hardware platform for obesity prevention and management has been developed. A tailored informational service and intervention will be provided interactively between stakeholders through the platform. The potential legal issues associated with the service design have also been considered. CONCLUSION: The user-centered convergence design and platform based on principles of Transtheoretical Model and Stages of Change using the Health Promoting School framework could enable effective intervention and promote acceptance in the long-run.
