英文摘要	Background: The prevalence of childhood obesity is higher in economically and socially deprived areas. Higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk of excessive weight gain in youth, and research has focused on environmental factors associated with children's physical activity, though the term physical activity desert has not come into wide use. Methods: This exploratory study operationalized the term physical activity desert and tested the hypothesis that children living in physical activity deserts would be less physically active than children who do not. A cross-sectional study design was applied with 992 fifth-grade students who had provided objectively measured physical activity data. Five of 12 possible elements of the built environment were selected as descriptors of physical activity deserts, including no commercial facilities, no parks, low play spaces, no cohesion, and the presence of incivilities. Results: Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that only the absence of parks was associated with less physical activity in children. Conclusion: Children living in a no park zone were less active than their counterparts who lived near a park. This study contributes preliminary conceptual and operational definitions of physical activity desert. Future studies of physical activity deserts should be undertaken in larger and more diverse samples.
