Abstract

Physical activity (PA) is associated with cardiovascular health; however, in the U.S., only 20% of women are physically active, compared to 28% of men. Arab American women (AAW) experience unique barriers to engaging in the recommended PA. This review examines quantitative PA studies conducted with AAW with a specific focus on how PA outcomes were assessed. Studies were analyzed to explore: (a) types of PA behavior, (b) components of PA interventions/interest (if conducted), (c) PA measurement, and (d) translation of PA tools. After screening titles, abstracts, and a full-text review of articles from five different databases, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. Leisure-time PA was the most readily used PA measure. Only two out of the 12 studies included women-only participants. There was a total of 10 cross-sectional studies and two quasi-experimental studies. All the studies used a self-report PA questionnaire; one study used a pedometer to measure PA. Six PA questionnaires were translated into Arabic. Future studies must explore the use of reliable and valid translated instruments, objective PA measures, and randomized controlled trial designs.

阿拉伯裔美国妇女的体育活动行为和测量:一项综合综述。
体育活动(PA)与心血管健康有关;然而,在美国,只有20%的女性参加体育活动,而男性只有28%。阿拉伯裔美国妇女(AAW)在参与推荐的PA方面遇到了独特的障碍。本综述审查了AAW进行的定量PA研究,特别关注如何评估PA结果。对研究进行分析,以探索:(a)PA行为的类型,(b)PA干预/兴趣的组成部分(如果进行),(c)PA测量,以及(d)PA工具的翻译。在筛选了来自五个不同数据库的文章的标题、摘要和全文综述后,12项研究符合纳入标准。休闲时间PA是最容易使用的PA测量。在12项研究中,只有两项研究只包括女性参与者。共有10项横断面研究和两项准实验研究。所有研究都使用了自我报告的PA问卷;一项研究使用计步器测量PA。六份PA问卷被翻译成阿拉伯语。未来的研究必须探索使用可靠有效的翻译工具、客观的PA测量和随机对照试验设计。
