BACKGROUND
National data show that Hispanics report low levels of physical activity. Limited information on barriers to exercise in this population exists in the literature.
METHODS
Surveys were administered to 398 Hispanic participants from two colonias in South Texas to investigate self-reported levels of and perceived barriers to exercise. One-way ANOVA by level of activity and t tests by gender were conducted. Exploratory factor analysis was used to examine patterns by level of activity.
RESULTS
Results show that 67.6% of respondents did not meet physical activity recommendations of at least 150 minutes per week, as compared with 55.6% nationally. Overall, the most frequently reported barriers included "lack of time," "very tired," and "lack of self-discipline" to exercise. An exploratory factor analysis of the barriers reported by participants not meeting physical activity recommendations resulted in a 3-factor structure. A unidimensional scale was found for participants meeting recommendations.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings suggest that future interventions should be specific to gender and exercise level to address the high prevalence of inactivity in this population.
背景
国家数据显示，西班牙裔人群的身体活动水平较低。文献中关于该人群锻炼障碍的信息有限。
方法
对来自德克萨斯州南部两个 colonias 的 398 名西班牙裔参与者进行了调查，以调查自我报告的锻炼水平和感知到的锻炼障碍。根据活动水平进行单因素方差分析，根据性别进行 t 检验。采用因子分析探讨活动水平的模式。
结果
结果显示，与全国 55.6%的水平相比，67.6%的受访者没有达到每周至少 150 分钟的身体活动建议。总体而言，报告最多的障碍包括“缺乏时间”、“非常疲倦”和“缺乏自律”进行锻炼。对未达到身体活动建议的参与者报告的障碍进行探索性因子分析得出了 3 个因子结构。对于达到建议的参与者，发现了一个单维量表。
结论
研究结果表明，未来的干预措施应针对性别和锻炼水平，以解决该人群中普遍存在的不活动问题。
