导语：女性，尤其是非裔美国女性，可能比理想的体力活动要少。对影响体力活动的因素的了解对于计划和实施运动促进干预措施是有价值的信息。方法：通过回归分析评估25个变量与当前全球体力活动的关系。852名14-18岁的年轻女性被抽样调查。每个人都完成了为期7天的体力活动回忆和83个项目的调查。结果：民族(高加索人更活跃)和年龄(更年轻更活跃)对体力活动有显著影响。总体而言，来自亲生父亲的养育和参与与身体活动相关的有组织的运动。每晚看两个小时或两个小时以上的电视对身体活动有负面影响。在非裔美国女孩中(n=626)，参加有组织的运动、朋友支持和来自亲生父亲的养育与体育活动显著相关。然而，通过媒体关注体育活动对体育活动产生了负面影响。在高加索人(n=226)中，态度是唯一与身体活动显著相关的因素。结论：针对女性青少年的计划干预应考虑针对特定的种族和年龄组采取不同的策略。医生对女性青少年的身体活动产生影响的机会包括利用她们的社区地位来影响学校政策，并在办公室探视期间单独为女性患者提供咨询。医学主题标题(MESH)：锻炼、青春期、种族、青少年行为、种族。
Introduction: Women, and particularly African-American women, may be less physically active than what is ideal. Knowledge of factors that influence physical activity is valuable information to those planning and administering exercise promoting interventions.Methods: The associations of 25 variables with current global physical activity were assessed via regression analysis. Eight hundred and fifty-two young women, 14-18 years of age, were sampled. Each completed a 7-day recall of physical activity and an 83-item survey. The sample was further subdivided by ethnic group, and then ethnic group and age to ascertain whether determinants of physical activity differ across these groups.Results: Ethnic group (Caucasians more active) and age (younger more active) were significant influences on physical activity. Overall, nurture from biological fathers and participation in organized sports associated with physical activity. Viewing two or more hours of television per night negatively influenced physical activity. Among African-American girls (n = 626), participation in organized sports, friend support, and nurture from biological fathers significantly associated with physical activity. However, following sports through the media negatively influenced physical activity. Among Caucasians (n = 226), attitudes were the sole significant correlate of physical activity.Conclusions: Those planning interventions targeting female adolescents should consider employing distinct strategies for specific ethnic group and age subgroups. Opportunities for physicians to have an impact on the physical activity of female adolescents includes using their community standing to influence school policies and to counsel female patients individually during office visits.Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): exercise, adolescence, ethnic groups, adolescent behavior, race.
