To explore the socio-behavioural mechanisms that motivate or dissuade boys' participation in physical activity (PA) as they transition into adolescence and their implications for physical therapy.
This critical qualitative study involved in-depth interviews using active interviewing techniques with 15 adolescent boys. Data generation and analysis were driven by techniques of grounded theory and Bourdieu's sociology of practice.
The analysis identified intersectional relationships among emotions, the inherent pleasures of movement, and a sense of connectedness to PA, each of which acted as a mediating mechanism in motivating participation in PA. Analogously, body dissatisfaction, negative self-perceptions, and repeated instances of explicit and symbolic bullying intersected to dissuade boys from participating and created apathy toward PA.
Identifying socio-behavioural mechanisms that motivate or dissuade physically active behaviour contributes new knowledge toward understanding PA attrition among boys transitioning to adolescence. As health advocates and movement experts, physiotherapists have an important role in helping adolescents of all abilities to participate in activities that provide them with meaning, inclusivity, and a sense of connectedness to PA.
探讨在男孩步入青春期过程中，促使或阻碍其参与体育活动（PA）的社会行为机制及其对物理治疗的影响。
这项关键的定性研究采用积极访谈技巧，对15名青春期男孩进行了深入访谈。数据的生成和分析由扎根理论技术以及布迪厄的实践社会学驱动。
分析确定了情绪、运动内在乐趣和与体育活动的联系感之间的交叉关系，每一种都在激励参与体育活动中充当一种中介机制。类似地，身体不满、负面自我认知以及明确和象征性欺凌的反复出现相互交织，阻碍男孩参与并导致对体育活动的冷漠。
识别促使或阻碍身体活动行为的社会行为机制，为理解向青春期过渡的男孩体育活动减少现象贡献了新知识。作为健康倡导者和运动专家，物理治疗师在帮助所有能力的青少年参与能为他们带来意义、包容性和与体育活动联系感的活动方面发挥着重要作用。
