Physical activity (PA) is a strong contributor to enhancing a healthy lifestyle and preventing numerous chronic diseases. As ethnic minorities engage in low levels of PA, psychosocial and activity-based interventions for sustaining PA are crucial. The 6-month intervention incorporated culturally tailored educational workshops and weekly PA classes at a community center. Educational workshops were led by six trained community health workers (CHWs). Participants (n=37) completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires regarding PA related self-efficacy, outcome expectations, social support, enjoyment, self-regulation, goal setting, and overall PA. Following the intervention, study participants exhibited increases in weekly PA levels. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test revealed higher median scores for Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES), Identified Regulation, and Intrinsic Motivation. Positive changes were observed for Physical Outcome Expectations, Social Outcome Expectations, Self-Evaluative Outcome Expectations, Physical Activity Enjoyment, Social Support for Exercise Scale - Family, Social Support for Exercise - Friends, and Exercise Goal-Setting. Community-based PA interventions may provide potential benefits to Filipino Americans, an ethnic Asian minority group, in identifying exercise benefits, developing proper exercise goals, increasing motivation, promoting PA behavior, and facilitating long-term PA adherence.
体育活动（PA）对促进健康的生活方式和预防多种慢性疾病起着重要作用。由于少数族裔参与体育活动的水平较低，因此采用心理社会和基于活动的干预措施来维持体育活动至关重要。为期6个月的干预措施包括在社区中心举办符合文化特点的教育工作坊和每周的体育活动课程。教育工作坊由六名经过培训的社区卫生工作者（CHW）主持。参与者（n = 37）完成了干预前后关于体育活动相关自我效能、结果期望、社会支持、享受程度、自我调节、目标设定和总体体育活动的问卷调查。干预后，研究参与者每周的体育活动水平有所提高。Wilcoxon符号秩检验显示，运动自我效能量表（ESES）、识别性调节和内在动机的中位数得分更高。在身体结果期望、社会结果期望、自我评估结果期望、体育活动享受程度、运动社会支持量表 - 家庭、运动社会支持 - 朋友以及运动目标设定方面观察到了积极变化。基于社区的体育活动干预措施可能会给菲律宾裔美国人这一亚裔少数族裔群体带来潜在益处，有助于他们认识到运动的好处、制定合适的运动目标、增强动力、促进体育活动行为以及促进长期坚持体育活动。
