Studies have examined associations between environmental features and physical activity, but there has been no exploration of adult perceptions about the influence environmental features have on physical activity. This study assessed associations between perceptions of environmental features and physical activity. 305 women and 229 men (18-91 years of age) were interviewed in their homes. Questions elicited self-report data on physical activities they performed in their neighborhood (sidewalks near home) and perceptions about neighborhood environmental features. Women (86.4%) were more likely than men (79.3%) to be active in their neighborhoods and view the features as influential. The influences features were perceived to have on physical activity were associated with activity performed in the neighborhood, but perceptions of the conditions of features were not. Interviewers of adults about relationships between environmental features and physical activity should consider perceptions about the influence the feature exerts on activity levels.
研究已经检验了环境特征与身体活动之间的关联，但尚未探索成年人对环境特征对身体活动影响的看法。本研究评估了对环境特征的看法与身体活动之间的关联。305 名女性和 229 名男性（18-91 岁）在家中接受了采访。问题引发了关于他们在社区（家附近的人行道）进行的身体活动以及对社区环境特征看法的自我报告数据。女性（86.4%）比男性（79.3%）更有可能在社区中活跃，并且认为这些特征具有影响力。特征被认为对身体活动的影响与在社区中进行的活动有关，但对特征条件的看法却没有。访谈成年人关于环境特征与身体活动之间的关系，应该考虑对特征对活动水平产生影响的看法。
