The authors compared physical activity patterns among 874 Asian, 332 African, 1,101 White, and 529 Hispanic American college students aged 18 to 25 years. According to self-report responses, 46.7% of the sample did not engage in vigorous physical activity and 16.7% were physically inactive. Among women, ethnic-specific rates of physical inactivity were Asian, 28.1%; African, 23.5%; White, 17.4%; and Hispanic, 20.3%. For men, rates of inactivity were Asian 11.7%; African, 7.7%; White, 12.0%; and Hispanic, 13.8. Weight-training activity, youthful physical activity, and TV viewing accounted for a significant portion of the variance in physical activity levels (13.1% for women and 14.8% for men). The results of this study support the need for physical activity interventions for college students, particularly minorities.
作者比较了874名18至25岁的亚洲大学生、332名非洲大学生、1101名白人大学生和529名西班牙裔美国大学生的体育活动模式。根据自我报告的回答，样本中有46.7%的人没有进行剧烈体育活动，16.7%的人身体不活动。在女性中，按种族划分的身体不活动率分别为：亚洲女性28.1%；非洲女性23.5%；白人女性17.4%；西班牙裔女性20.3%。对于男性，不活动率分别为：亚洲男性11.7%；非洲男性7.7%；白人男性12.0%；西班牙裔男性13.8%。举重训练活动、青少年体育活动和看电视在体育活动水平的差异中占很大比例（女性为13.1%，男性为14.8%）。这项研究的结果支持了对大学生，尤其是少数族裔进行体育活动干预的必要性。
