Exploring barriers, motivators and facilitators for physical activity and exercise in a UK South Asian community: a qualitative study

While SA adults were aware of the importance of PA and its utility in health prevention, there was an evident lack of knowledge of guidelines and in particular the need for resistance exercise or other strength-building activities. We highlight a need to develop new routes to disseminate information within the SA population to increase knowledge and understanding of PA and resistance exercise for overall health.

Abstract

While SA adults were aware of the importance of PA and its utility in health prevention, there was an evident lack of knowledge of guidelines and in particular the need for resistance exercise or other strength-building activities. We highlight a need to develop new routes to disseminate information within the SA population to increase knowledge and understanding of PA and resistance exercise for overall health.
