邻里环境和儿童体育活动之间的关系在西方国家已经有了很好的记录，但在超密集的亚洲城市却很少调查。本研究采用名义团体技术，探讨香港华人儿童身体活动行为的环境促进因素和环境障碍因素。五个名义组进行了34名10-11岁的儿童从四种类型的社区不同的社会经济地位和步行在香港。环境因素是由孩子们在回答“你认为什么样的邻里环境会增加或减少你做体力活动的意愿？”因素的优先顺序，他们对儿童的身体活动的重要性。16个独特的环境因素，这被认为是最重要的儿童的身体活动，被确定。被认为是体力活动促进因素的因素包括“充足的照明”、“桥梁或隧道”、“道路上汽车少”、“交通便利”、“地铁站”、“娱乐场所”、“有空调的购物中心”、“新鲜空气”、“有趣的动物”和“香水店”。被认为是身体活动障碍的因素包括“让我感到不安全的人”，“附近的犯罪”，“害怕在晚上被带走或受伤”，“在购物中心很难找到厕所”，“太多的噪音”和“娱乐场所太多人”。香港儿童发现了与体力活动相关的环境促进因素和障碍，这在一个超密集的城市中是独一无二的。这些初步发现可以为未来对香港和类似亚洲城市儿童身体活动与环境关系的研究提供信息。
Relationships between the neighborhood environment and children’s physical activity have been well documented in Western countries but are less investigated in ultra-dense Asian cities. The aim of this study was to identify the environmental facilitators and barriers of physical activity behaviors among Hong Kong Chinese children using nominal group technique. Five nominal groups were conducted among 34 children aged 10–11 years from four types of neighborhoods varying in socio-economic status and walkability in Hong Kong. Environmental factors were generated by children in response to the question “What neighborhood environments do you think would increase or decrease your willingness to do physical activity?” Factors were prioritized in order of their importance to children’s physical activity. Sixteen unique environmental factors, which were perceived as the most important to children’s physical activity, were identified. Factors perceived as physical activity-facilitators included “Sufficient lighting”, “Bridge or tunnel”, “Few cars on roads”, “Convenient transportation”, “Subway station”, “Recreation grounds”, “Shopping malls with air conditioning”, “Fresh air”, “Interesting animals”, and “Perfume shop”. Factors perceived as physical activity-barriers included “People who make me feel unsafe”, “Crimes nearby”, “Afraid of being taken or hurt at night”, “Hard to find toilet in shopping mall”, “Too much noise”, and “Too many people in recreation grounds”. Specific physical activity-related environmental facilitators and barriers, which are unique in an ultra-dense city, were identified by Hong Kong children. These initial findings can inform future examinations of the physical activity-environment relationship among children in Hong Kong and similar Asian cities.
