abstract: 'Previous research suggests that a range of factors influence an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual''s physical activity (PA) participation, but studies among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nepalese adults are limited. In this qualitative study, we aimed to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explore the multilevel influences upon PA participation among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
community-dwelling adults aged 40 years and above living in an urban
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setting in Kathmandu, Nepal. Men (n = 21) and women (n = 30) were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
purposively sampled to participate in one of nine focus group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discussions. Types of PA undertaken constituted activities related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
housework, farm work, and active travel. Individual-level barriers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
included lack of knowledge, lack of motivation, perceptions of already
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
being active, personal limitations, and lack of time. Interpersonal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers included household responsibilities and lack of support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Broader environmental barriers included lack of infrastructure for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
active commuting, poor safety, rising use of motorized transport, lack
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of resting areas, weak social norms about PA, declining agricultural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engagement, mechanization, and improved access to technology and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facilities. Some differences were observed between the gender and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disease groups. Health benefits, integration into domestic work,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities for social interaction, and social support were the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facilitators. Interventions focusing on families, highlighting the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
short- and long-term benefits of PA, addressing gender roles, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ensuring women are better supported represent opportunities to promote
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PA. Community-based interventions will be essential to establish social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
norms around PA and improve social support.'
