The purpose of this study was to describe physical activity (PA) behaviors and physical functioning of prehypertensive and Stage I hypertensive African American Women (AAW) and to examine the relationships between PA behavior, physical functioning, personal factors, and behavior-specific influences. Pender's Health Promotion Model was the conceptual framework for the study. A cross-sectional design and convenience sample were used. The PA domain where the greatest amount of time was spent was in work-related activity, followed by household, leisure time, and transportation activity. Personal factors most strongly correlated to lower PA were greater body mass index and waist circumference. AAW perceived moderate barriers to PA and minimal family and friend social support for PA. Future interventions need to focus on removing barriers to and improving social support for PA among AAW.
本研究的目的是描述高血压前期和I期高血压非裔美国女性（AAW）的身体活动（PA）行为及身体机能，并探讨PA行为、身体机能、个人因素与特定行为影响之间的关系。彭德健康促进模型是该研究的概念框架。采用了横断面设计和便利样本。花费时间最多的PA领域是与工作相关的活动，其次是家务、休闲时间和交通活动。与较低PA最密切相关的个人因素是更高的体重指数和腰围。AAW认为PA存在中度障碍，且家人和朋友对PA的社会支持极少。未来的干预措施需要侧重于消除AAW进行PA的障碍并改善对PA的社会支持。
