Past research into exercise among people with long-term health conditions has paid surprisingly little attention to the concept of enjoyment. This study explored enjoyment of exercise among people with arthritis. Semi-structured interviews were held with 12 participants aged 20-85 years. The transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: enjoyment of exercise in relation to other people, benefits of exercise in relation to enjoyment, working around barriers to enjoy exercise and finding an enjoyable balance to exercise. These themes highlight the relevance of enjoyment and how it could feature in advice about exercise for people with arthritis.
以往针对患有长期健康问题的人群的运动研究，令人惊讶地很少关注到享受运动这一概念。本研究探讨了关节炎患者对运动的享受。对 12 名年龄在 20-85 岁的参与者进行了半结构化访谈。使用归纳主题分析对转录本进行了分析。确定了四个主题：与他人一起运动的乐趣、与享受运动相关的益处、克服障碍享受运动以及找到享受运动的平衡。这些主题突出了享受的相关性，以及它如何在关节炎患者的运动建议中体现。
