“…Interviews were conducted on the hospital ward, within a month of their stroke. First, three open ended questions were posed to understand how people with stroke view the relationship between PA and stroke risk, as previously used to explore attitudes towards PA in people with hypertension (Beune et al, 2010). This method allows participants to share their experiences from their own point of view, and allows for themes to emerge based on participants’ perceptions of illness:…”

Background. Physical inactivity is a powerful risk factor for stroke and other chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to explore physical activity habits and preferences in the month leading up to a first-ever stroke, and to determine whether participants were aware of the link between stroke and physical activity.Methods. We undertook an observational study with 81 participants recently admitted to a stroke unit. Participants reported their pre-morbid physical activity preferences and habits and completed the Barriers to Physical Activity and Disability Survey. Data were analysed with summative content analysis and descriptive statistics.Results. Only 31% of participants were aware that physical inactivity was associated with stroke. Most participants defined physical activity with examples of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and walking (48% of responses), and IADLs constituted their most frequent regular physical activity (38% of responses). The barriers to physical activity reported by participants most frequently were lack of motivation (52%), lack of interest (50%) and lack of energy (42%).Conclusions. Regular physical activity is important to prevent stroke and other chronic diseases but adults at risk of stroke have little awareness of the risks of physical inactivity and little motivation to undertake regular exercise.

“…These included: religious requirements [20, 26, 31, 34, 37, 40–43] and religion and culture [5, 18, 20, 26, 43–46]. Following the factors were, commitments within family [20, 24, 27, 31, 39, 40, 47, 48] and modesty [5, 23, 26, 27, 31, 38, 40, 49]. Other factors related to gender, family, religious and cultural issues were: women as caregiver/mother [5, 26, 27, 40, 42, 46, 48], ideals of behaviour [18, 24, 27–29, 34, 39], family [18, 23, 26, 28, 50–52] and shame [5, 23, 26, 27, 31, 38, 40].…”

“…The cluster also included factors relating to cultural requirements [20, 24, 29, 34, 53, 54], social acceptance of PA [5, 22, 40, 54–56], social environment [27, 47, 49, 52, 57], social support [25, 26, 39, 53, 58], structural constraints in family [24, 31, 39, 59, 60] and concepts of age/aging [26, 27, 36, 52, 61]. Cultural requirements included ideals of behaviour and morality, as well as commitments of attending religious ceremonies and notions of the relationship between genders.…”

BackgroundPhysical activity and sedentary behaviour are associated with health and wellbeing. Studies indicate that ethnic minority groups are both less active and more sedentary than the majority population and that factors influencing these behaviours may differ. Mapping the factors influencing physical activity and sedentary behaviour among ethnic minority groups living in Europe can help to identify determinants of physical activity and sedentary behaviour, research gaps and guide future research.MethodsA systematic mapping review was conducted to map the factors associated with physical activity and sedentary behaviour among ethnic minority groups living in Europe (protocol PROSPERO ID = CRD42014014575). Six databases were searched for quantitative and qualitative research published between 1999 and 2014. In synthesizing the findings, all factors were sorted and structured into clusters following a data driven approach and concept mapping.ResultsSixty-three articles were identified out of 7794 returned by the systematic search. These included 41 quantitative and 22 qualitative studies. Of these 58 focused on physical activity, 5 on both physical activity and sedentary behaviour and none focused on sedentary behaviour. The factors associated with physical activity and sedentary behaviour were grouped into eight clusters. Social & cultural environment (n = 55) and Psychosocial (39) were the clusters containing most factors, followed by Physical environment & accessibility (33), Migration context (15), Institutional environment (14), Social & material resources (12), Health and health communication (12), Political environment (3). An important finding was that cultural and religious issues, in particular those related to gender issues, were recurring factors across the clusters.ConclusionPhysical activity and sedentary behaviour among ethnic minority groups living in Europe are influenced by a wide variety of factors, especially informed by qualitative studies. More comparative studies are needed as well as inclusion of a wider spectrum of the diverse ethnic minority groups resettled in different European countries. Few studies have investigated factors influencing sedentary behaviour. It is important in the future to address specific factors influencing physical activity and sedentary behaviour among different ethnic minority groups in order to plan and implement effective interventions.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12966-017-0554-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
