目的：通过检查障碍和促进因素，了解每30分钟长时间坐着后进行2至3分钟轻至中等强度体力活动的可行性。方法：约27名（n = 22名女性）在一个工作日内坐着超过5小时的高等教育工作人员参加了焦点小组讨论。结果：通过归纳主题分析，发现具有工作场所文化特征和了解（或不了解）福利的主题是促进因素和障碍。另外的障碍是工作效率的降低和特定的工作任务妨碍了活动休息。建议采用外部激励和提示来促进参与。结论：需要环境和个人策略来建立能力、机会和进行定期活动休息的动机，并应告知生态有效的工作场所干预措施的发展。
Objective: To understand the practicalities of undertaking 2 to 3 minutes of light to moderate intensity physical activity after every 30 minutes of prolonged sitting by examining barriers and facilitators. Methods: Around 27 (n = 22 women) employees working in higher education who sat for greater than 5 hours during a work day participated in a focus group discussion. Results: Through inductive thematic analysis, themes characterising workplace culture and having the knowledge (or not) of benefits were found to be a facilitator and a barrier. Additional barriers were a perceived reduction in work productivity and specific work tasks that precluded taking activity breaks. Extrinsic motivators and prompts were suggested to facilitate participation. Conclusions: Environmental and individual strategies are required to build capability, opportunity, and motivation for undertaking regular activity breaks and should inform the development of an ecologically valid workplace intervention.
