A qualitative analysis of perceived barriers and motivators to physical activity in children from ethnic minority groups and white British children.

Lack of physical activity is a problem worldwide despite its well-known health benefits. Children from ethnic minority groups report some of the lowest levels of physical activity. In trying to address this, the voices and perspectives of children, especially children from ethnic minority groups, are often overlooked.The primary purpose of this study was to identify and compare the perceived barriers and motivators to physical activity of children from ethnic minority groups and white British children in a UK city. A semi-structured interview on physical activity participation was conducted in English with 20 children aged 8-11 years old.

尽管缺乏体育锻炼的全球性问题及其显著的益处广为人知，但这一现象仍普遍存在。来自少数族裔群体的儿童报告了最低水平的体育锻炼参与度。在试图解决这一问题的过程中，儿童的声音，尤其是来自少数族裔群体的儿童的声音和观点，往往被忽视。本研究的主要目的是在英国某城市识别并比较少数族裔群体儿童与白人英国儿童对体育锻炼感知到的障碍和动机。对20名8至11岁的儿童进行了以英语进行的半结构化访谈，以探讨体育锻炼参与情况。
