Examine differences in physical activity (PA) constraints experienced as freshmen among college upperclassmen based on sex, race/ethnicity, adiposity, and fitness. Upperclassmen ( = 524) from self-reported demographics, PA, subjective changes in PA, and freshman PA constraints via an online survey, and had adiposity and predicted aerobic fitness objectively assessed. Self-reported reductions in PA since high school and freshmen year were associated with a lack of motivation as a freshman, lower current PA levels, and poorer aerobic fitness compared to those who maintained or increased PA. Women were less active than men and reported greater constraints, while non-Hispanic white students had greater vigorous PA than minority students. Multiple regression analyses revealed that motivation constraints predicted PA regardless of sex and race/ethnicity. Findings highlight the importance of college administrators and health promoters alleviating freshman PA constraints, particularly among women, to promote the adoption of an active lifestyle.
基于性别、种族/民族、肥胖程度和健康状况，研究大学高年级学生作为新生时所经历的身体活动（PA）限制的差异。通过在线调查，对524名高年级学生进行了自我报告的人口统计学信息、PA情况、PA的主观变化以及新生PA限制等方面的调查，并对他们的肥胖程度和预测的有氧适能进行了客观评估。与保持或增加PA的学生相比，自高中和大一以来自我报告的PA减少与大一缺乏动力、当前PA水平较低以及有氧适能较差有关。女性比男性活动量少，且报告的限制更大，而非西班牙裔白人学生比少数族裔学生有更多的剧烈PA。多元回归分析表明，无论性别和种族/民族如何，动机限制都能预测PA。研究结果凸显了大学管理人员和健康促进者减轻新生PA限制的重要性，尤其是在女性中，以促进积极生活方式的养成。
