Using data from the 2004 Texas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we investigated whether the physical activity behaviors of people with disabilities are related to their perceptions of the characteristics of the built environment and whether this relationship differs from that of people without disabilities.
The research questions were, "Are perceived neighborhood characteristics and reported use of community facilities associated with reported leisure-time physical activity for adults aged 18 to 64 years with disabilities?"; "Are perceived neighborhood characteristics and reported use of community facilities associated with reported moderate to vigorous physical activity for adults with disabilities?"; and "To what extent do perceived neighborhood characteristics, reported use of community facilities, reported leisure-time physical activity, and reported moderate to vigorous physical activity differ between adults with disabilities and without disabilities?" We used logistic regression to analyze the responses.
People with disabilities were less likely to engage in leisure-time physical activity and meet recommendations for physical activity than people without disabilities. Participation of people with disabilities in leisure-time physical activity had significant correlations with positive perceptions of neighbors, physical activity, trails, parks, playgrounds, or sports fields, and with their use of private or membership-only recreation facilities. The presence of sidewalks was significantly related to whether people with disabilities met recommended levels of physical activity.
Although people with disabilities engaged in less leisure-time physical activity and physical activity than people without disabilities, perceptions of the built environment and use of community facilities similarly affected people with and without disabilities.
利用 2004 年德克萨斯州行为风险因素监测系统的数据，我们调查了残疾人的身体活动行为是否与其对建成环境特征的感知有关，以及这种关系是否与非残疾人不同。
研究问题是：“残疾成年人 18 至 64 岁的感知邻里特征和报告的社区设施使用与报告的休闲时间体育活动有关吗？”；“残疾成年人的感知邻里特征和报告的社区设施使用与报告的适度至剧烈身体活动有关吗？”；“残疾成年人与非残疾成年人之间的感知邻里特征、报告的社区设施使用、报告的休闲时间体育活动和报告的适度至剧烈身体活动有多大程度的差异？”我们使用逻辑回归分析来分析回答。
与非残疾人相比，残疾人更不可能从事休闲时间体育活动和达到身体活动建议。残疾人参与休闲时间体育活动与对邻居、体育活动、小径、公园、游乐场或运动场的积极看法以及对私人或会员制娱乐设施的使用有显著相关性。人行道的存在与残疾人是否达到推荐的身体活动水平有显著关系。
尽管与非残疾人相比，残疾人从事的休闲时间体育活动和身体活动较少，但对建成环境的感知和社区设施的使用同样影响着残疾人和非残疾人。
