The purpose of this study was to examine the barriers to and facilitators of physical activity (PA) relevant to a faith-based community living in a border region. Two focus groups were conducted with 25 Latina churchgoers. Latinas identified barriers to PA that included individual (eg, lack of motivation and time, language, economics, social support, family/household responsibilities), sociocultural (eg, fear of border patrol, machismo, and neighborhood safety), and environmental barriers (eg, traffic-related and dogs). Facilitators of PA were PA knowledge, child care, time management, and advocacy skills. The authors concluded that a church-based multilevel intervention targeting Latinas may be ideal for promoting PA and facilitating environmental changes.
本研究的目的是探讨与生活在边境地区的一个基于信仰的社区相关的身体活动（PA）的障碍和促进因素。对25名拉丁裔教堂礼拜者进行了两个焦点小组访谈。拉丁裔确定了身体活动的障碍，包括个人因素（如缺乏动力和时间、语言、经济状况、社会支持、家庭/家务责任）、社会文化因素（如对边境巡逻的恐惧、大男子主义和社区安全）以及环境障碍（如与交通相关的问题和狗）。身体活动的促进因素包括身体活动知识、儿童保育、时间管理和宣传技能。作者得出结论，针对拉丁裔的基于教堂的多层次干预可能是促进身体活动和推动环境变化的理想方式。
