Furthermore, the more positive the cultural attitudes and beliefs for physical activity the more likely the adolescent girl would be in either the contemplation or preparation stage for readiness to engage in physical activity.

520 $a Furthermore, the more positive the cultural attitudes and beliefs for physical activity the more likely the adolescent girl would be in either the contemplation or preparation stage for readiness to engage in physical activity.
520 $a Overall, based on the results of this study, a program that included behavior modification, culturally relevant physical activity and a dietary component may potentially help to quell the obesity epidemic.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to explore the factors related to BMI in a convenience sample of 115 urban adolescent girls age 13--18 yrs., of all races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. The sample was drawn from a variety of private, parochial, and public schools in New York City.
520 $a The EAT 26, EDI, Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, Stage of Change Classification for Physical Activity, Modifiable Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents and the Cultural Eating, Exercise and Body Image Attitudes and Beliefs Questionnaire were administered to test the null hypotheses and to assess model relationships between predictors of BMI.
520 $a The results of this study indicate that body dissatisfaction is a strong predictor for BMI; the higher the BMI the higher the body dissatisfaction among adolescent girls. This was noted especially for African American and Hispanic adolescent girls and for younger adolescent girls age 13, 14 and 15 year olds and the higher the BMI the more likely the adolescent girls would engage in sedentary activities for a greater number of hours; this was noted particularly for African American girls.
520 $a In regard to physical enjoyment, physical activities that were fun, enjoyable, pleasant and exciting had a strong association with BMI and with the adolescent girls' cultural attitudes and beliefs for physical activity. Hence, the higher the BMI the more likely the adolescent girl would not find physical activity to be fun, enjoyable, pleasant and exciting. The more positive the cultural attitudes and beliefs for physical activity of adolescent girls the more likely they would find physical activity to be fun, enjoyable, pleasant and exciting.
