Scope

• The journal focuses on physical activity, and a study may measure how much a population moves through a week.该刊关注身体活动，研究可以测量某一人群在一周中的活动量。

• Sedentary behaviour is studied in its own right, since time spent sitting is now treated as a risk of its own.久坐行为本身受到研究，因为坐着度过的时间如今被视为一项独立的风险。

• Sleep is a named subject, and a paper may follow the length and the quality of sleep in a group.睡眠是一个列出的主题，论文可以追踪某一群体睡眠的时长与质量。

• The three behaviours are examined together, since what a person does across a day adds up to a single pattern.这三种行为被一并考察，因为一个人一天中所做之事加起来构成单一格局。

• A twenty-four hour approach is required, so a study is expected to look at how the parts of a day trade off against one another.要求采用二十四小时的视角，因此研究被期望考察一天中的各部分如何相互替代。

• Submissions that examine at least two of the behaviours at once are encouraged.同时考察其中至少两种行为的投稿受到鼓励。

• Behavioural interventions are taken, and a trial may test a programme that aims to change what people do.行为干预会被接收，试验可以检验一项旨在改变人们行为的方案。

• Randomised controlled trials are welcome, since a causal claim needs a design that can support it.随机对照试验受到欢迎，因为因果性主张需要能够支撑它的设计。

• Epidemiological studies are taken, and a paper may relate a behaviour to a health outcome across a large group.流行病学研究会被接收，论文可以在庞大群体中把某种行为与健康结局相联系。

• Cross-sectional surveys appear among the designs, and they describe a pattern at one point in time.横断面调查出现在所用设计之中，它们描述某一时点上的格局。

• Systematic reviews are published, so a reader may see what the body of evidence supports.系统综述会被发表，使读者可以看到证据整体支持什么。

• Compositional data analysis is named as a method, since the parts of a day are constrained to add to the whole.成分数据分析被列为一种方法，因为一天的各部分受约束而合计为整体。

• Assessment technology is covered, and a study may judge how well a device records the movement of a wearer.评估技术也在覆盖之列，研究可以评判某一器械记录佩戴者运动的准确程度。

• Digital health is a named interest, since an intervention may now be delivered through a phone.数字健康是一个列出的关注点，因为干预如今可以经由手机实施。

• The journal states that it does not consider studies on animals, so its subject is human behaviour.该刊声明不考虑动物研究，因此其主题是人类行为。

• A paper is expected to advance the evidence base, and a mere description of a group is not enough on its own.论文被期望推进证据基础，仅对一个群体的描述本身并不足够。

• A paper may report how much of a day a group spends in each of the three behaviours, and the account should show how the parts were separated.论文可以报告某一群体一天中在三种行为上各花费多少，记述应说明各部分是如何划分的。

• Work on the measurement of sleep is taken, since a device or a diary may record it and the two need not agree.睡眠测量的工作会被接收，因为器械或日记都可以记录它，而两者未必一致。

• The journal covers the effect of a change in one behaviour on another, since an hour given to exercise is an hour taken from something else.该刊覆盖一种行为的变化对另一种的影响，因为给运动的这一小时是从别处取来的。

• A study of a workplace programme is taken, and the paper may ask whether sitting was reduced and whether the change lasted.工作场所方案的研究会被接收，论文可以追问坐姿时间是否减少以及变化是否持续。

• Work on children is covered, since a habit formed early may persist into adult life.儿童方面的工作也在覆盖之列，因为早年形成的习惯可能延续到成年。

• A paper may report the association between sleep and a health outcome, and the editors ask that the design be able to support the claim.论文可以报告睡眠与健康结局之间的关联，编辑要求该设计能够支撑这一主张。

• The journal takes work on the health of an older group, since both activity and sleep change with age.该刊接收较年长群体健康方面的工作，因为活动与睡眠都随年龄而变。

• Work on the cost of inactivity is taken, since a health service bears the expense of what its population does.缺乏活动的代价方面的工作会被接收，因为卫生体系承担其人群行为的费用。

• A review may gather the trials of a kind of intervention, and the journal asks that the search be described fully.综述可以汇集某一类干预的试验，该刊要求把检索过程完整写出。

• The journal takes work on how people move between two behaviours across a day, since the pattern matters as much as the total.该刊接收人们一天中在两种行为之间转换的工作，因为格局与总量同样重要。
