OBJECTIVES
To describe the daily physical activity of Arab men living in the United States and to understand how perceptions of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk influence their inclusion of physical activity into their daily routine.
METHODS
A qualitative descriptive method using a semi-structured face-to-face interview with each participant was conducted. Twenty young college males (age 26 ± 4 years) were recruited from Arab American community centers.
RESULTS
The qualitative inductive content analysis revealed three main themes: impact of perceived CVD risk on physical activity behavior and perceived barriers and motivators to be physically active. Arab men primarily perceived gaining weight as the most important CVD risk factor that could promote their physical activity behavior.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings demonstrate that unawareness about CVD risk and barriers to regular physical activity must be considered in any intervention to engage Arab men in regular physical activity.
目的
描述居住在美国的阿拉伯男性的日常身体活动情况，并了解对心血管疾病（CVD）风险的认知如何影响他们将身体活动纳入日常生活。
方法
采用定性描述性方法，对每位参与者进行半结构化面对面访谈。从阿拉伯裔美国人社区中心招募了20名年轻的男性大学生（年龄26±4岁）。
结果
定性归纳内容分析揭示了三个主要主题：感知到的CVD风险对身体活动行为的影响以及感知到的身体活动障碍和动机。阿拉伯男性主要将体重增加视为最重要的CVD风险因素，这可能促使他们进行身体活动。
结论
这些发现表明，在任何促使阿拉伯男性进行规律身体活动的干预措施中，都必须考虑到他们对CVD风险的认知不足以及规律身体活动的障碍。
