The experience of exercise among women survivors of sexual violence is a multifaceted phenomenon. In effort to inform treatment interventions, we used a phenomenological approach to describe the lived experience of exercise among women survivors of sexual violence. Data analysis from a focus group discussion and individual interviews with eight women survivors receiving services at a rape crisis center (RCC) revealed four themes: exercising (and not exercising) fosters safety, exercising is risky, past trauma restricts exercise choices, and exercising is beneficial. Findings indicate that survivors' experience of exercise is related to their connections with self and their social environment. Survivors' choices related to exercise were impacted by their stage of recovery. A variety of social-contextual factors appeared to support or impede motivation to exercise and it was not disinterest in exercise or low confidence in the ability to exercise, but restricted exercise options perceived as safe that influenced exercise motivation.
性暴力幸存者女性的运动体验是一个多方面的现象。为了为治疗干预措施提供信息，我们采用现象学方法来描述性暴力幸存者女性的运动体验。对在强奸危机中心接受服务的 8 名女性幸存者的焦点小组讨论和个人访谈进行数据分析后，揭示了四个主题：锻炼（和不锻炼）促进安全、锻炼有风险、过去的创伤限制了锻炼选择、锻炼有益。研究结果表明，幸存者的运动体验与其与自我和社会环境的联系有关。幸存者的运动选择受到其康复阶段的影响。各种社会背景因素似乎支持或阻碍了运动的动机，而不是对运动不感兴趣或对运动能力缺乏信心，而是限制了被认为安全的锻炼选择，这影响了运动的动机。
