Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Identifying factors related to physical activity in university students can aid the development of health promotion interventions, but there is limited research regarding the influence of university environments. This study examined the relationship between level of provision for university environments that aim to promote physical activity and self-reported physical activity patterns of students.
METHODS: An environmental audit tool was completed by universities (n = 28) on the island of Ireland to acquire information about physical activity opportunities, resources, and supports offered. Students (N = 6951; 50.7% male; 21.51 [5.55] y) completed an online survey, providing responses about their active transport and recreational physical activity behaviors. Binary logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between environmental factors that support physical activity and clustered physical activity patterns, while controlling for gender, age, and university size.
RESULTS: Universities with a high provision for organizational structures and internal partnerships, indoor facilities, and sport clubs increase the odds of their students having more active physical activity patterns. Increased provision of investment and personnel was seen to have a mixed relationship with students\' physical activity engagement, highlighting the need to understand where resources are needed and not just increase them.
CONCLUSIONS: It is important for universities to have adequate organizational structures with internal partnerships to understand how resources can be maximized to support physical activity engagement across the whole student population. University campuses hold the potential for increasing student engagement in physical activity, and these findings can help inform campus-wide initiatives that foster active student populations for improving overall long-term health.

摘要：
背景：确定与大学生体育锻炼相关的因素可以帮助制定健康促进干预措施，但是关于大学环境影响的研究有限。这项研究研究了旨在促进体育活动的大学环境的提供水平与学生自我报告的体育活动模式之间的关系。
方法：爱尔兰岛上的大学（n=28）完成了环境审计工具，以获取有关身体活动机会的信息，资源,并提供支持。学生（N=6951;50.7%男性;21.51[5.55]y）完成了一项在线调查，提供有关他们的积极运输和娱乐体育活动行为的反应。二元逻辑回归用于检查支持身体活动的环境因素与聚集的身体活动模式之间的关联。在控制性别的同时，年龄,和大学规模。
结果：对组织结构和内部伙伴关系有很高规定的大学，室内设施,和体育俱乐部增加了他们的学生有更积极的身体活动模式的几率。投资和人员的增加被认为与学生的体育活动参与有混合关系，强调需要了解哪里需要资源，而不仅仅是增加资源。
结论：对于大学来说，重要的是要有足够的组织结构和内部伙伴关系，以了解如何最大限度地利用资源来支持整个学生群体的体育活动参与。大学校园具有增加学生参与体育锻炼的潜力，这些发现可以帮助通知校园范围内的倡议，培养积极的学生群体，以改善整体长期健康。
