Zusammenfassung

Ziel

Ziel des Beitrags ist die Untersuchung der von Nicht-Bewegern angegebenen Gründe für einen bewegungsarmen Lebensstil, sowie deren Bewegungsinteressen.

Methode

Im Rahmen einer repräsentativen Panel Untersuchung wurden 9457 deutsche Jugendliche und Erwachsene zu Bewegungsgewohnheiten, Bewegungsbarrieren und Bewegungsinteressen befragt.

Ergebnisse

Deskriptive und multivariate Analysen zeigen, dass Bewegungsbarrieren und Bewegungsinteressen z. T. durch soziodemographische und sozioökonomische Merkmalen determiniert sind. Während jüngere Erwachsene vermehrt über fehlende Zeit als Barriere zu mehr Bewegung berichten, sind dies bei älteren Erwachsenen eher wenige Freunde für Bewegung oder gesundheitliche Probleme. Jüngere Erwachsene und Normalgewichtige unter den Nicht-Bewegern präferieren Fitnessprogramme zur körperlichen Aktivierung. Demgegenüber ist die Präferenz einer Aktivierung im Alltag unabhängig vom Alter und Body-Mass-Index der Befragten.

Schlussfolgerungen

Die Ergebnisse haben Implikationen für die Entwicklung von differenzierten Strategien zur Aktivierung von Nicht-Bewegern.

Abstract

Objective

This study examines the reasons sedentary individuals give for being inactive, as well as which types of physical activity they are interested in.

Method

The data stem from a representative panel survey of 9,457 German adolescents and adults who answered questions on physical activity, barriers to physical activity, and interests in physical activity.

Results

Descriptive and multivariate analyses indicate that barriers to and interests in physical activity are partly determined by sociodemographic and economic characteristics. Whereas younger adults predominantly report lack of time as a barrier to physical activity, older adults report health problems and few friends. Younger adults and individuals with normal body weight would prefer exercise programs for physical activity promotion. Preference for physical activity promotion that targets active living is not associated with an individual’s age or body mass index.

Conclusions

The results have implications for the development of specific strategies to promote physical activity among the sedentary.
