Recreation and sport settings (RSS) typically promote health in the form of physical activity, but the healthfulness of their food environment is often neglected. We explored stakeholder perspectives on barriers to healthy food provision in RSS through telephone interviews with ten representatives from RSS across Nova Scotia. Three key barriers were identified: 1) cultural norms associated with food in RSS and the broader environment, 2) the persisting notion of personal choice and responsibility, and 3) financial implications of healthy food provision. These barriers challenge healthy food provision in RSS and require multi-faceted strategies to overcome social norms that undermine health behaviours.
休闲运动场所（RSS）通常以体育活动的形式促进健康，但它们的食品环境的健康程度往往被忽视。我们通过电话采访了来自新斯科舍省 RSS 的十名代表，探讨了利益相关者对 RSS 中提供健康食品的障碍的看法。确定了三个主要障碍：1）RSS 中和更广泛环境中与食物相关的文化规范，2）持续存在的个人选择和责任观念，3）提供健康食品的财务影响。这些障碍对 RSS 中的健康食品供应构成挑战，需要采取多方面的策略来克服破坏健康行为的社会规范。
