To examine what factors African American women with one or more physical disabilities perceive as barriers to exercise and how they rank them.
Department of Disability and Human Development at a major university.
Data were collected through telephone interview using a newly developed instrument (Barriers to Physical Exercise and Disability [B-PED]) that addressed issues related to physical activity and the subjects' disability.
Fifty subjects were asked questions about their participation and interest in structured exercise.
The four major barriers were cost of the exercise program (84.2%), lack of energy (65.8%), transportation (60.5%), and not knowing where to exercise (57.9%). Barriers commonly reported in nondisabled persons (eg, lack of time, boredom, too lazy) were not observed in our sample. Only 11% of the subjects reported that they were not interested in starting an exercise program. The majority of subjects (81.5%) wanted to join an exercise program but were restricted by the barriers reported.
African American women with a physical disability are interested in becoming more active but are limited in doing so because of their inability to overcome several barriers to increased physical activity participation.
探讨患有一种或多种身体残疾的非裔美国女性将哪些因素视为运动障碍以及她们如何对这些因素进行排序。
一所主要大学的残疾与人类发展系。
通过电话访谈收集数据，使用一种新开发的工具（身体锻炼与残疾障碍[B-PED]），该工具涉及与身体活动和受试者残疾相关的问题。
50名受试者被问及他们参与结构化运动的情况和兴趣。
四大障碍分别是运动项目费用（84.2%）、缺乏精力（65.8%）、交通（60.5%）以及不知道去哪里运动（57.9%）。我们的样本中未观察到非残疾人士常见的障碍（如缺乏时间、无聊、太懒）。只有11%的受试者表示他们对开始运动项目不感兴趣。大多数受试者（81.5%）想参加运动项目，但受到所报告的障碍限制。
患有身体残疾的非裔美国女性有兴趣增加运动量，但由于无法克服增加身体活动参与的若干障碍，她们在这方面受到限制。
