尽管有潜在的健康后果，非裔美国男性倾向于将他们作为提供者、父亲、配偶和社区成员的角色视为比从事身体活动等健康行为更重要的角色。我们对来自中西部的105名城市中年非裔美国男性进行了14个探索性焦点小组，以检查影响他们健康行为的因素。专题内容分析揭示了体力活动的三个相互关联的障碍：(A)工作、家庭和社区承诺和优先事项限制了从事体力活动的时间和动机；(B)体力活动不是规范的个人或社会活动，导致男性优先考虑工作和家庭责任，而不是体力活动；(C)男性努力履行提供者角色限制了他们参与体力活动的动机和精力。这些发现突显了体力活动干预措施的必要性，这些干预措施考虑了健康如何适应男性整体生活的背景。
Despite the potential health consequences, African American men tend to treat their roles as providers, fathers, spouses, and community members as more important than engaging in health behaviors such as physical activity. We conducted 14 exploratory focus groups with 105 urban, middle-aged African American men from the Midwest to examine factors that influence their health behaviors. Thematic content analysis revealed three interrelated barriers to physical activity: (a) work, family, and community commitments and priorities limited time and motivation for engaging in physical activity; (b) physical activity was not a normative individual or social activity and contributed to men prioritizing work and family responsibilities over physical activity; and (c) the effort men exerted in seeking to fulfill the provider role limited their motivation and energy to engage in physical activity. These findings highlight the need for physical activity interventions that consider how health fits in the context of men’s overall lives.
