Racial and Ethnic Constraints
A recent study examined what constraints racial and ethnic groups faced in terms of physical activity in recreation and park areas. The study was done because of the differences in obesity rates based on race. Many park and recreation areas are available to everyone at a low cost and are often found within the neighborhood, thus increasing access. However, different racial groups face different constraints in terms of using these areas. Here is what the study found:
Hispanics/Latinos are most constrained and whites are least constrained.
Hispanics were fearful of physical assault and not enough lighting.
Blacks and Hispanics/Latinos felt more constrained than whites, stating that they did not have enough energy; they fear racial conflict; they feel unwelcome; and the location of the park area is not close enough to home.
Asian and Hispanics/Latinos were more fearful of sexual assault than white respondents.
Black and Hispanics/Latinos were more concerned about the location not offering the activities that they want than Asians or whites. a
