“…The findings showed that especially female, low-SES individuals from ethnic origin reported less sports participation. This is similar to findings of most other research on sociodemographics and sports participation 22,26 Results show that this group of female, low-SES individuals from ethnic origin participate in significantly more sports in program communities than in control communities. This effect was expected due to the adjusted offer of sports activities for disadvantaged groups and the lowered mobility, financial, and commitment barriers, e.g., inexpensive dance lessons for women given by female teachers in nearby sports infrastructure.…”

A Capacity Building Approach to Increase Sports Participation in Disadvantaged Urban Communities: A Multilevel Analysis

Recent evidence showed that community capacity building is one of the key methods to reach health improvements within disadvantaged communities. Physical activity and sports participation are important means to reach health improvements. This study investigates a capacity building method which aims at increasing sports participation in the community, especially for individuals at higher risk of sports deprivation. The main aims of the present study, are the following: (1) to examine differences in sports participation between individuals living in communities implementing a sports-based capacity building program and individuals living in communities without such capacity building program and (2) to investigate if the community sports program reaches the individuals known to experience higher barriers to engage in sports. In Flanders, Belgium, five disadvantaged urban communities implementing the community capacity building program (program communities) and four without (control communities) were selected based on similarity of sociodemographic and environmental characteristics. Two hundred adults (aged 18-56 years) per community were randomly selected and visited at home to fill out a questionnaire on sociodemographics, sports participation, and the community sports program. A sample of 414 adults participated in the study. Results showed that adults from program communities reported on average 96 min/week more participation in sports than their counterparts living in control communities. Furthermore, 61.3 % of the individuals of program communities indicated to engage in sports, whereas in control communities, this was only 42.4 %. Respondents at higher risk of sports deprivation also engaged in significantly more sports participation in program communities than those in control communities. This difference was also noted for groups that are not related with sports deprivation. These results are promising and plead for a community capacity building approach to increase sports participation in disadvantaged communities.

“…Previously it has been reported that physical activity levels are higher in younger compared to older individuals, higher with increased socioeconomic status, and that ethnic minorities tend to have a higher prevalence of inactivity compared to non-Hispanic whites. 30,38 Crespo et al 39 found an inverse relationship between the prevalence of physical inactivity and social class derived from occupation, education and income. In the sample we analyzed, the prevalence of no LTPA is approximately 10% lower for currently employed non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans compared to all nonHispanic blacks and Mexican Americans in the general US population.…”

“…2,3,34,38,39 This study is unique because it focuses on the effects of OA and LTPA in a currently employed US national sample while controlling for several confounding variables. Previous studies of NHANES III report the prevalence of physical inactivity as 22% (17% for men and 27% for women) 3,38 and a number of socio-cultural variables appear to in¯uence the prevalence of LTPA. Previously it has been reported that physical activity levels are higher in younger compared to older individuals, higher with increased socioeconomic status, and that ethnic minorities tend to have a higher prevalence of inactivity compared to non-Hispanic whites.…”

OBJECTIVE: To assess the interaction between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and occupational activity (OA) on the prevalence of obesity. DESIGN: Secondary data analysis of a population based cross-sectional US national sample (NHANES III). SUBJECTS: A total of 4889 disease-free, currently employed adults over age 20 y. MEASUREMENTS: Subjects body mass index (BMI) was categorized as (1) obese (BMI ! 30 kgam 2 ), or (2) non-obese (BMI`30 kgam 2 ). LTPA was divided into four categories: (1) no LTPA; (2) irregular LTPA; (3) regular moderate intensity LTPA; and (4) regular vigorous intensity LTPA. OA was grouped as (1) high OA and (2) low OA. Age, gender, race ± ethnicity, smoking status, urbanization classi®cation, alcohol consumption and income were statistically controlled. RESULTS: In all, 16.8% (s.e. 0.7) of the total subject population were obese (15.1% (s.e. 1.1) of men and 19.1% (s.e. 1.1) of women). Logistic regression revealed that compared to those who engage in no LTPA and have low levels of OA, the likelihood of being obese is 42% (95% CI 0.35, 0.96) lower for those who engage in no LTPA and have high OA, 48% (95% CI 0.32, 0.83) lower for those who have irregular LTPA and have high levels of OA, and about 50% lower for all those who have regular LTPA through moderate or vigorous activity levels regardless of OA level. CONCLUSION: When considering disease free adults above 20 y of age employed in high and low activity occupations, a high level of occupational activity is associated with a decreased likelihood of being obese.

“…Physical activity measures most commonly used in the quantitative studies included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (28%), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System [25] (14%) and the A review of sport and physical activity in culturally and linguistically diverse migrants 9 other studies used accelerometers, Self Report of Physical Activity questionnaire [26], Physical Activity History, Kaiser Physical Activity Survey [27], Community Health Activity Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) Physical Activity Questionnaire [28], San Diego Health and Exercise Questionnaire [29], EPIC Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Purposes for Engaging in Physical Activity Scale [30].…”

Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) migrants face significant health risks as they adapt to new cultures. These risks are exacerbated by their limited participation in preventative behaviours such as sports and physical activity. The review aimed to identify studies that examined the correlates of sport and physical activity participation in migrants. The systematic review identified 72 papers, including 6 interventions, 18 qualitative and 48 quantitative studies. The 44 identified correlates highlight the complexities involved in working with migrants. The correlates were grouped in four themes using the social ecological model; acculturation, demographic, psychosocial and environmental/ organisational. The social ecological model identified general correlates such as social support and safety. However, there were unique correlates relating to individuals who are facing cultural changes such as acculturation and language. Overall, there is a lack of contextualisation of CALD migrants' sport and physical activity experiences because many studies fail to consider acculturation comprehensively.
