本研究旨在探讨非裔美国中年妇女对体育活动的态度。使用女权主义的观点，6个月的在线论坛进行了21个非洲裔美国中年妇女在互联网上招募。采用专题分析法对数据进行分析。出现了四个主题：（a）文化上可接受的身体，（B）错过了学习的机会，（c）体育活动是一种奢侈品，（d）想自己做。这些女性有积极的身体形象，无论她们的实际体重如何。这些女性认为，在她们忙碌的忙碌生活中，体育活动是一种“奢侈”，她们认为自己已经错过了学习的机会。这些女性想单独参加体育活动，因为她们童年的经历不好，不愿意带着满头大汗、头发凌乱的头发出门。研究结果表明，促进体育活动的独特方案应考虑到妇女的种族特定的态度。
The purpose of this study was to explore African American midlife women's attitudes toward physical activity. Using a feminist perspective, a 6-month online forum was conducted with 21 African American midlife women recruited on the Internet. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged: (a) culturally acceptable body, (b) missed opportunity to learn, (c) physical activity as a luxury, and (d) want to do by myself. The women had positive body images regardless of their actual weight. The women considered physical activity "a luxury" in their busy lives and thought that they had already missed opportunities to learn. The women wanted to participate in physical activities alone because of their bad childhood experiences and hesitance to go out in public with sweaty, messy hair. The findings suggested that unique programs that promote physical activity should be developed that consider the women's ethnic-specific attitudes.
