利用12天的详细体育活动记录（PA记录）的数据，我们分析了141名40岁及以上的非裔美国人和美洲原住民妇女的体育活动模式，这些妇女参加了跨文化活动参与研究。PA记录每隔一个月完成一次，连续3天。1993年，美国疾病控制与预防中心和美国运动医学学院建议女性在一周的大部分时间（4天周期中至少3天）中积累至少30分钟的中等强度活动，达到这一建议的女性比例从63%到70%不等。近三分之一的女性达到了建议的4天以上的周期。在受试者累计至少30分钟中度活动的日子里，中度活动的时间为112分钟/天。大多数女性做家务（95%，中位数= 24分钟/天），步行锻炼（87%，中位数= 30分钟/天），职业（65%，中位数= 37分钟/天），照顾孩子（53%，中位数= 32分钟/天），以及草坪和花园活动（51%，中位数= 43分钟/天）。只有不到25%的人报告了锻炼和体育活动。总的来说，印第安人比非裔美国人更积极地参加适度的活动。总之，用于描述定期身体活动特征的定义应在各研究中保持一致，妇女身体活动调查应包括与职业有关和与家庭有关的活动。
Using data from 12 days of detailed physical activity records (PA records), we analyzed the physical activity patterns of 141 African American and Native American women, ages 40 and older, enrolled in the Cross-Cultural Activity Participation Study. PA records were completed every other month for three consecutive 4-day periods. The proportion of women who met the 1993 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine recommendation to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity during most days of the week (at least 3 days of the 4-day periods) ranged from 63% to 70%. Nearly one third of women met the recommendation for more than one 4-day period. On days when subjects accumulated at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, time spent in moderate activity was 112 minutes/day. Most women performed household chores (95%, median = 24 minutes/day), walking for exercise (87%, median = 30 minutes/day), occupational (65%, median = 37 minutes/day), child care (53%, median = 32 minutes/day), and lawn and garden activities (51%, median = 43 minutes/day). Fewer than 25% reported conditioning and sports activities. In general, more Native Americans than African Americans were active in moderate activities. In conclusion, definitions used to characterize regular physical activity should be consistent among studies, and physical activity surveys among women should include occupation-related and home-related activities.
