To explore attitudes toward physical activity among a multiethnic group of midlife women.
A qualitative cross-sectional study using an online forum. RECRUITMENT SETTINGS: Internet communities/groups for midlife women and for ethnic minorities.
A multiethnic group of 15 midlife women.
Ten online forum topics on attitudes toward physical activity and seven on ethnic-specific contexts.
Thematic analysis, involving line-by-line coding, categorization, and theme extraction.
Six themes across all ethnic groups emerged from the data analysis process, although there were some ethnic differences in details related to each theme. The themes were (a) gendered experience, (b) physical activity as all body movements, (c) no time for physical activity, (d) environment matters, (e) health concerns made me do it, and (f) need a companion.
Nurses need to consider and further investigate the influence of women's multiple roles, cultural factors, and environmental factors on physical activity in order to promote physical activity of midlife women.

采用在线论坛的定性横断面研究。招募地点：中年女性和少数民族的互联网社区/群组。
15名多民族中年女性群体。
关于体育活动态度的10个在线论坛主题，以及7个关于特定族裔背景的主题。
主题分析，包括逐行编码、分类和主题提取。
数据分析过程中出现了所有族裔共有的六个主题，尽管每个主题的细节存在一些族裔差异。这些主题分别是：（a）性别化经历；（b）体育活动即所有身体运动；（c）没有时间进行体育活动；（d）环境很重要；（e）健康担忧促使我进行体育活动；（f）需要同伴。
护士需要考虑并进一步调查女性的多重角色、文化因素和环境因素对体育活动的影响，以促进中年女性的体育活动。
