Sixty-one African American women (ages 20-50 years) from a rural community in Alabama participated in six focus groups. Barriers to and enablers of physical activity were identified and grouped into personal, environmental (social and physical), policy, and cultural themes for qualitative analyses. Personal factors included motivation, perceived health, feeling tired, and lack of time; social environmental factors included support from friends, family, and issues related to child care; physical environmental factors included weather, access to facilities, availability of sidewalks or other places to walk; policy factors included personal safety concerns (loose dogs, traffic, etc.) and inflexible work environments. Some, but not all, women perceived cultural differences as a factor affecting physical activity levels. Differences in socioeconomic levels and time demands among women of different cultures were identified as factors that may influence physical activity. Participants provided suggestions for community-based physical activity interventions using an environmental approach.
来自阿拉巴马州一个农村社区的61名非裔美国女性（年龄在20至50岁之间）参加了6个焦点小组。确定了身体活动的障碍和促进因素，并将其分为个人、环境（社会和自然）、政策和文化主题进行定性分析。个人因素包括动机、感知健康、感到疲劳和时间不足；社会环境因素包括朋友和家人的支持以及与儿童保育相关的问题；自然环境因素包括天气、设施可达性、人行道或其他步行场所的可用性；政策因素包括个人安全问题（流浪狗、交通等）和缺乏灵活性的工作环境。一些（但不是所有）女性认为文化差异是影响身体活动水平的一个因素。不同文化背景女性在社会经济水平和时间需求上的差异被确定为可能影响身体活动的因素。参与者提供了关于采用环境方法进行基于社区的身体活动干预的建议。
