Despite increasing socioeconomic inequalities in the health and well-being of adolescents, the voices of adolescents in disadvantaged communities regarding facilitators of physical activity (PA) have received relatively little attention. In response, the purpose of this study was to illuminate what adolescents in a multicultural community of low socioeconomic status (SES) in Sweden convey concerning facilitators of PA. Adolescents ( = 53, aged 12-13 years) were recruited from a school in a multicultural community of low SES in Sweden. Following an interpretive approach, 10 focus group interviews were conducted to produce data for a qualitative content analysis. When the adolescents mentioned PA, they mostly referred to spontaneous PA rather than organized PA, and expressed that they enjoyed their PA engagement, which they stated was promoted by the variation of PA, available options for PA, their physical skills, and the presence of peers. They reported that social support from family and friends facilitated their PA, and they offered several suggestions regarding how the school environment could better support their PA. From the perspective of self-determination theory (SDT), the results stress the importance of facilitating intrinsic motivation with a supportive PA environment in which adolescents can satisfy their needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
尽管青少年健康与福祉方面的社会经济不平等现象日益加剧，但处于弱势社区的青少年对于体育活动促进因素的声音却相对很少受到关注。作为回应，本研究的目的是阐明瑞典一个社会经济地位较低（SES）的多元文化社区中的青少年关于体育活动促进因素的看法。青少年（n = 53，年龄在12 - 13岁）从瑞典一个社会经济地位较低的多元文化社区的一所学校招募而来。遵循一种诠释方法，进行了10次焦点小组访谈以生成用于定性内容分析的数据。当青少年提及体育活动时，他们大多指的是自发的体育活动而非有组织的体育活动，并表示他们喜欢参与体育活动，称体育活动的多样性、可选择的体育活动项目、他们的身体技能以及同伴的存在促进了他们参与体育活动。他们报告称来自家人和朋友的社会支持促进了他们的体育活动，并且他们就学校环境如何能更好地支持他们的体育活动提出了若干建议。从自我决定理论（SDT）的角度来看，研究结果强调了营造一个支持性体育活动环境以促进内在动机的重要性，在这样的环境中青少年能够满足他们对自主性、能力和归属感的需求。
