身体活动指“由骨骼肌产生的体能消耗运动,”是保持身体健康、增进社会交往的重要方式和途径。在澳大利亚,虽然有研究调查民族群体身体活动的各个层面,但总体而言,多数研究更侧重于民族群体的同质性,而忽视了其异质性。本研究探讨在新南威尔士州居住的澳籍香港老年华人对身体活动的概念理解及对身体活动的态度。研究使用开放性问卷进行个体深度访谈,受访者22人。研究发现,大多数受访者不清楚“身体活动”这一术语的含义,对他们来说,“身体活动”是一个模糊的、复杂的术语。该群体对身体活动的态度反映了他们在预防性卫生保健方面的文化和健康观念。显然,提升澳籍香港老年华人的身体活动水平,需要一种基于文化特殊性的健康促进策略以解决对身体活动的误解,同时也需要具体的身体活动态度与华人整体性保健观念相匹配。
Physical activity refers to “exercise of physical exertion produced by skeletal muscle,” and is an important way and means of maintaining good health and promoting social interaction. In Australia, while research has investigated all aspects of the physical activity of ethnic groups, most studies, in general, focus more on the homogeneity of ethnic groups, ignoring their heterogeneity. This study explored the conceptual understanding of physical activity and attitudes towards physical activity among elderly Chinese in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, who live in New South Wales. The study used an open questionnaire to conduct in-depth interviews with 22 respondents. The study found that most respondents were not aware of the meaning of the term “physical activity,” for which “physical activity” was a vague and complex term. The group's attitude towards physical activity reflects their cultural and health perspectives on preventive health care. Obviously, raising the level of physical activity of elderly Chinese in Hong Kong, Australia requires a culture-specific health promotion strategy to solve the misunderstanding of physical activity and also to require specific physical activity attitudes to match Chinese holistic health concepts.
