To explore attitudes toward physical activity of White midlife women in the United States using a feminist perspective.
A cross-sectional qualitative study using a thematic analysis.
Internet communities for midlife women.
Twenty-nine White midlife women in the United States recruited using a convenience sampling method.
We used 17 topics on attitudes toward physical activity and ethnic-specific contexts to administer an online forum. We analyzed the data using thematic analysis.
We found three themes: thinking without action, gendered and sedentary culture, and motivating myself. The women knew and understood the necessity of physical activity for their physical and mental health but in most cases had not been able to take action to increase their physical activities. Although the culture that circumscribed the women's physical activity was sedentary in nature, the women tried to motivate themselves to increase their physical activities through several creative strategies.
The findings strongly suggest that although women were doing their best, American culture itself needs to be changed to help women increase physical activity in their daily lives.
从女性主义视角探讨美国白人中年女性对体育活动的态度。
采用主题分析的横断面定性研究。
中年女性互联网社区。
采用便利抽样法招募的29名美国白人中年女性。
我们使用17个关于体育活动态度和特定种族背景的主题来管理一个在线论坛。我们采用主题分析对数据进行分析。
我们发现了三个主题：空想不行动、性别化与久坐文化以及自我激励。这些女性知道并理解体育活动对其身心健康的必要性，但在大多数情况下，她们未能采取行动增加体育活动。尽管限制这些女性体育活动的文化本质上是久坐不动的，但她们试图通过几种创新策略激励自己增加体育活动。
研究结果有力地表明，尽管女性已尽最大努力，但美国文化本身需要改变，以帮助女性在日常生活中增加体育活动。
