Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Educators in early years settings influence children\'s physical activity (PA) levels through their pedagogical choices and behaviours. To date, minimal research has been conducted on the relationship between educator action and children\'s PA levels. The purpose of this systematic review was to understand which educator behaviours and actions in early years settings have been shown to engage children in PA.
METHODS: Five online databases (Academic Search Complete, ERIC, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL Complete and PubMed) were searched for articles that showed an association between educator behaviour and the PA level of children between the ages of zero and eight.
RESULTS: Eleven studies met all inclusion criteria, yet showed great variability in design and data collection methods. The risk of bias was assessed using previously published criteria adapted to this study and inline with the CONSORT statement. A binomial test on the data revealed a statistically significant deviation from chance expectation (p < .001) in relation to educator action influencing child PA. Ten of the studies focussed on educator PA, four studies highlighted the use of prompting and encouragement, three studies analysed broad statements of adult interaction, two studies called for planning activity sessions and discussions and two studies encouraged role modelling. The low number of studies included in the review and the high risk of bias indicates that caution with these results is needed.
CONCLUSIONS: While this review highlights the importance of educator PA (and other behaviours that had a positive association) on child PA level, it underscores the need for high-quality research to examine the relationship between educator actions and child PA.

摘要：
背景：早年环境中的教育者通过其教学选择和行为影响儿童的身体活动（PA）水平。迄今为止,对教育者行为与儿童PA水平之间的关系进行了最少的研究。这项系统审查的目的是了解早期环境中哪些教育者的行为和行动已被证明可以使儿童参与PA。
方法：五个在线数据库(完成学术搜索，ERIC,SPORTDiscus,CINAHLComplete和PubMed）搜索了显示教育者行为与零至八岁儿童的PA水平之间存在关联的文章。
结果：11项研究符合所有纳入标准，但在设计和数据收集方法上表现出很大的可变性。偏倚的风险评估使用以前发表的标准，适用于本研究并符合CONSORT声明。对数据进行的二项检验显示，与影响儿童PA的教育者行为有关，与机会期望（p<.001）存在统计学上的显着偏差。十项研究集中在教育家PA，四项研究强调了提示和鼓励的使用，三项研究分析了成人互动的广泛陈述，两项研究呼吁规划活动会议和讨论，两项研究鼓励角色建模。纳入审查的研究数量少，偏倚风险高，这表明需要谨慎对待这些结果。
结论：虽然这篇综述强调了教育者PA（和其他有积极关联的行为）对儿童PA水平的重要性，它强调需要高质量的研究来检查教育者行为与儿童PA之间的关系。（PROSPERO注册：CRD42022338819）。
