“…The majority of studies suggest that an individual's perception of their ability to partake in physical activity [23,66], higher self esteem [67] and lower self-consciousness [68,69] are strongly associated with increased participation.…”

“…Specific motivators for engaging in sports and physical activity differed according to cultural group, but some common motivators included maintaining physical health [44,68,75], managing chronic disease A review of sport and physical activity in culturally and linguistically diverse migrants 14 [76,77] and socialising [55,58,77]. Generally, the greater the number of motives an individual cited, the greater was their participation in sports and physical activity [37,65].…”

“…Some studies reported that CALD specific programs and activities were necessary to engage CALD migrants to participate [68,69], whilst others found that CALD groups were more committed to household and occupational physical activity rather than leisure time physical activity [94]. Walking was often the most preferred method of physical activity [e.g., 74,82] (especially amongst older adults [51]) and thus safety in the neighbourhood was seen as an important contributor to walking behaviours [e.g., 43,51,60].…”

“…Facilities were mostly perceived as unavailable [e.g., 46,77], inappropriate due to inadequate operating hours [68] and poorly maintained [46]. For some CALD migrants, quality of facilities was perceived as better in the new country compared to the home country [81].…”

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.

Physical inactivity is the third leading cause of the burden of disease for Australian Aboriginal adults. The neighborhood environment and social support are known to influence physical activity (PA) participation. This study examined these factors in relation to achieving PA recommendations in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. Cross-sectional data from the 2010 Social, Economic, and Environmental Factor (SEEF) Study in New South Wales, Australia were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (OR) for Aboriginal versus non-Aboriginal participants for PA-related attributes, including achieving PA recommendations. ORs for achieving PA recommendations were estimated in both groups. Overall, 63.1% of Aboriginal (n = 314) and 65.4% of non-Aboriginal (n = 59,175) participants met PA recommendations. Odds of healthy sleep duration were lower, and receiving GP advice to be active was higher, among Aboriginal versus non-Aboriginal participants. Aboriginal respondents had higher odds of reporting that the crime rate made it unsafe to walk and that local public transport was inaccessible. They had higher odds of disagreeing they have local shops, footpaths or free/low cost recreation facilities. PA correlates were similar in both groups. The factors relating to PA were similar in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Neighborhood and social features were less PA-favorable for Aboriginal participants suggesting multiple possible avenues for increasing PA in this older population group.
