人们指出，妇女对体育活动的种族/民族态度似乎是她们参加体育活动的比例较低的一个合理原因。然而，人们实际上对中年女性对体育活动的态度的种族/民族共性和差异知之甚少。这项研究的目的是探索美国四个主要种族/民族(白人、西班牙裔、非裔美国人和亚洲人)中年女性对体育活动的态度的共性和差异。这是对一项更大规模研究的定性数据的二次分析，该研究探索了中年女性对体育活动的态度。本研究使用了来自90名中年女性的四个种族/民族特定在线论坛的定性数据。使用主题分析对数据进行了分析，并提取了反映不同种族/民族妇女对体育活动态度的共性和差异的主题。反映共性的主题是：(A)“体育活动有益于健康”；(B)“没有尽我所能地进行体育活动”；(C)“不鼓励体育活动”；(D)“遗传病促使人们参与体育活动”；(E)“缺乏体育活动的机会”。反映差异的主题是：(A)“作为必需品或奢侈品的体育活动”；(B)“有组织的体育活动与自然的体育活动”；(C)“以个人为导向的体育活动与以家庭为导向的体育活动”；以及(D)“美丽的理想或文化上可接受的身体外表”。在增加种族/少数民族中年妇女的体力活动方面，优先事项将是制定一种能够改变社会影响和环境因素并可纳入妇女种族/族裔特有态度的干预措施。
Women’s racial/ethnic-specific attitudes toward physical activity have been pointed out as a plausible reason for their low participation rates in physical activity. However, very little is actually known about racial/ethnic commonalties and differences in midlife women’s attitudes toward physical activity. The purpose of this study was to explore commonalities and differences in midlife women’s attitudes toward physical activity among four major racial/ethnic groups in the United States (whites, Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians). This was a secondary analysis of the qualitative data from a larger study that explored midlife women’s attitudes toward physical activity. Qualitative data from four racial/ethnic-specific online forums among 90 midlife women were used for this study. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, and themes reflecting commonalties and differences in the women’s attitudes toward physical activity across the racial/ethnic groups were extracted. The themes reflecting the commonalities were: (a) “physical activity is good for health”; (b) “not as active as I could be”; (c) “physical activity was not encouraged”; (d) “inherited diseases motivated participation in physical activity”; and (e) “lack of accessibility to physical activity.” The themes reflecting the differences were: (a) “physical activity as necessity or luxury”; (b) “organized versus natural physical activity”; (c) “individual versus family-oriented physical activity”; and (d) “beauty ideal or culturally accepted physical appearance.” Developing an intervention that could change the social influences and environmental factors and that could incorporate the women’s racial/ethnic-specific attitudes would be a priority in increasing physical activity of racial/ethnic minority midlife women.
