The promotion of strength training is a public health priority. Employing both self-reported and objective assessment of environmental factors is helpful for a better understanding of the environmental influences on strength-training behavior.
This study aims to investigate the associations of perceived and objectively measured access to strength-training facilities with strength-training behavior.
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey targeted 3,000 Japanese adults and 1,051 responded validly. Strength-training behavior, perceived access to facilities, and sociodemographic factors were assessed. Objective access to facilities was calculated using a geographic information system. Logistic regression analyses were conducted.
Perceived good access to the facilities was significantly associated with strength-training behavior, whereas objective access to the facilities was not, even when adjusted for sociodemographic factors and other measures of access to strength-training facilities.
Perceived access to the facilities may be a stronger predictor of strength-training behavior than objective access.
推广力量训练是一项公共卫生重点工作。采用自我报告和对环境因素的客观评估，有助于更好地理解环境对力量训练行为的影响。
本研究旨在调查对力量训练设施的感知可达性和客观测量的可达性与力量训练行为之间的关联。
一项横断面问卷调查针对3000名日本成年人，1051人有效回复。对力量训练行为、对设施的感知可达性和社会人口统计学因素进行了评估。使用地理信息系统计算设施的客观可达性。进行了逻辑回归分析。
对设施的良好感知可达性与力量训练行为显著相关，而设施的客观可达性即使在对社会人口统计学因素和其他力量训练设施可达性指标进行调整后也并非如此。
对设施的感知可达性可能比客观可达性更能有力地预测力量训练行为。
