Abstract@#The study elaborates on the historical development of the home-
school -
community partnership in the
United States , as well as
physical activity strategies to prevent
overweight and
obesity in
school age
children . Feasible
suggestions are proposed for implementing the home-
school -
community collaboration in
China . The finding suggests that in addition to cooperation with
schools ,
families and
communities need to take initiatives to actively support
children s participation in various
physical activities and provide facilities and guarantees.
Schools should also do a top level design that links with
families and
communities , and incorporate their participation into long term
physical education planning , making them an integral part of a closely interconnected collaborative network to further prevent
overweight and
obesity in
school age
children .
