Qualitative research focused on how people experience the social and material environments in which they exercise has the potential to inform public health agendas in all sorts of ways. This commentary takes up the claim made by Stephanie Coen that such research should begin with an 'equity lens' and place a greater emphasis on 'critique' than we did in the 'Exercise and Environment' special issue to which she responds. At its best qualitative research reveals new ways of thinking about the social and material contexts at hand. As such, it has the potential to highlight important dimensions of the lived experience of popular fitness practices that may have hitherto been relatively overlooked. Always starting with the overt aim of applying an 'equity lens' truncates the possibility of discovering such dimensions. Furthermore, being too wedded to an overtly critical stance may end up hindering, rather than encouraging, the most positive dialogue between those studying the cotemporary exercise experience and those involved in public health.
定性研究侧重于研究人们如何体验他们进行锻炼的社会和物质环境，它有可能以各种方式为公共卫生议程提供信息。本评论接受了 Stephanie Coen 的观点，即此类研究应该从“公平视角”开始，并比我们在她回应的“运动与环境”特刊中更加强调“批判”。在最好的情况下，定性研究揭示了思考手头社会和物质背景的新方法。因此，它有可能突出流行健身实践的生活体验的重要方面，这些方面迄今为止可能相对被忽视。总是从应用“公平视角”的明显目标开始，会限制发现这些方面的可能性。此外，过于坚持明显的批判立场可能最终会阻碍而不是鼓励那些研究当代运动体验的人和那些参与公共卫生的人之间进行最积极的对话。
