Physical activity can have a positive impact on health disparities among African Americans.
In this study, we assessed physical activity behaviors and correlates of students of a Historically Black College.
In September 2004, an online survey and pedometers were used to measure physical activity behavior and correlates.
A convenience sample of 106 students completed the survey and received pedometers. Pedometer data were submitted online for 5 weeks.
One hundred and six students completed the survey. Twenty-eight percent and 41% of respondents met recommendations for moderate physical activity and vigorous physical activity, respectively. Week 1 daily pedometer step count average was 8,707. Most students reported positive outcome expectations for physical activity. Students submitting pedometer data were less likely to meet MPA recommendations than students only completing the survey.
African American students feel positive about physical activity yet most do not meet recommended levels.
体育活动可对非裔美国人的健康差异产生积极影响。
本研究评估了一所历史上黑人学院学生的体育活动行为及其相关因素。
2004 年 9 月，采用在线调查和计步器来测量体育活动行为和相关因素。
106 名学生完成了调查并收到了计步器。计步器数据在线提交了 5 周。
106 名学生完成了调查。分别有 28%和 41%的受访者达到了中等强度和高强度体育活动的建议量。第 1 周的每日计步器步数平均为 8707 步。大多数学生对体育活动的预期结果持积极态度。提交计步器数据的学生比仅完成调查的学生更不可能达到 MPA 的建议量。
非裔美国学生对体育活动感觉良好，但大多数人未达到推荐水平。
