Measuring physical activity in the jail setting is complicated as current physical activity measurement tools are not designed for use inside jail facilities. Therefore, we adapted an evidence-based physical activity measurement tool, the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC), to assess physical activity within a jail facility. SOPARC was designed to obtain observational information on physical activity of individuals. The study team created a protocol for SOPARC for use in jail facilities. Unlike the original SOPARC, access to recreation time in jail required prior scheduling. Target areas were unnecessary as recreation spaces were enclosed. The adapted SOPARC protocol for jails included start and end times, the number of individuals that attended, and recreation time users\u2019 physical activity levels, footwear, outerwear, uniform color, and use of mobility assistive devices. The use of SOPARC in the jail setting requires adaptation to adequately capture physical activity data among incarcerated individuals. Accurately measuring physical activity among incarcerated individuals and the environment in which they are active may allow for future development and testing of physical activity interventions in jail facilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17010349","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,6]],"date-time":"2020-01-06T03:48:48Z","timestamp":1578282528000},"page":"349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Adaptation of the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC) for the Measurement of Physical Activity in Jail Settings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ricky","family":"Camplain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Travis A.","family":"Pinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heather J.","family":"Williamson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"},{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Pro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lyle","family":"Becenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Bret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coconino County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Flagstaff, AZ 86001, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Crystal","family":"Luna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coconino County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Flagstaff, AZ 86001, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie A.","family":"Baldwin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1007\/s11524-011-9614-1","article-title":"Health disparities and the criminal justice system: An agenda for further research and action","volume":"89","author":"Binswanger","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
