Abstract

Objective: To investigate exercise stages of change (SOC) and physical barriers among undergraduates at an Historically Black University (HBCU) and quantify their relationship. Participants: A total of 326 undergraduate HBCU students; 198 were females (body mass index (BMI) range 16.5-87.9; M = 26.5 ± 6.8) and 127 were males (BMI range 18.0-49.3; M = 26.4 ± 5.7). Methods: Students voluntarily completed a three-section survey: demographic questions, Exercise SOC, and Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ). Results: An ANOVA determined significant differences (p < . 001) between the means for each SOC for lack of time, social influence, lack of energy, lack of willpower, and lack of skill. Significant differences (p < . 001) existed between SOC and BBAQ score, as well as number of important barriers. Conclusions: HBCU interventions should address time management, energy, motivation, social support, and skill development to promote exercise and reduce barriers, especially among Black women.

一所历史悠久的黑人大学本科生的锻炼变化阶段和障碍。

目的调查一所历史悠久的黑人大学（HBCU）本科生的运动变化阶段（SOC）和身体障碍，并量化它们之间的关系。参与者：共有 326 名历史悠久的黑人大学（HBCU）本科生，其中 198 名女生（体重指数（BMI）范围为 16.5-87.9；M = 26.5 ± 6.8），127 名男生（体重指数（BMI）范围为 18.0-49.3；M = 26.4 ± 5.7）。调查方法学生们自愿填写了一份由三个部分组成的调查问卷：人口统计学问题、运动 SOC 和参加体育锻炼的障碍测验 (BBAQ)。结果方差分析确定了显著的差异（p p 结论：哈佛商学院的干预措施应针对时间管理、精力、动力、社会支持和技能发展，以促进锻炼和减少障碍，尤其是在黑人女性中。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
