目标。在这篇关于跨文化活动参与研究（CAPS）定性数据的综述中，我们综合了旨在确定少数民族女性对体育活动看法的研究的主要发现。我们采访了30名非裔美国人和26名美国印第安人妇女，采用了不断比较的技术。我们使用从数据中开发的编码系统对数据进行分析。妇女们过着积极忙碌的生活。大多数人认为体育活动对他们有好处，确定了体育活动的时间和空间限制，并希望社会支持体育活动。社会文化问题也与体育活动有关。个人价值观和文化价值观都影响着女性的体育活动行为。
Objectives. In this review of qualitative data from the Cross-Cultural Activity Participation Study (CAPS), we synthesize the major findings of studies designed to identify minority women's perceptions of physical activity.Methods. We interviewed 30 African American and 26 American Indian women with constant comparison techniques. We analyzed the data with a coding system developed from the data.Results. The women led active, busy lives. Most perceived physical activity as being good for them, identified constraints to time and space for physical activity, and wanted social support for physical activity. Sociocultural issues also were related to physical activity.Conclusions. Both personal and cultural values influenced the women's physical activity behaviors.
