METHODS: Four focus group interviews were conducted with 4-6 participants each. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were coded in NVivo and the analysis was guided by thematic analysis.
METHODS: Adolescents from handball and football clubs in Oslo and Viken, Norway, participated in the study.
METHODS: A total of nine boys (11-14 years old) and ten girls (11-14 years old) participated in the study.
RESULTS: We identified four main themes: interest for healthy food; experiences with the food selection at the sports arena; factors influencing participants\' food choices at the sports arena and expectations related to a healthy food selection at the sports arena. Adolescents across the focus groups experienced the food selection at the sports arena as unhealthy. Price, marketing and availability of unhealthy food were important factors that influenced their food choices at the sports arena. The trainer appeared to motivate the participants to eat healthy.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants wished for a healthier food selection at the sports arena. Cost of food emerged as a factor that influenced their food choices. Our study also indicates that marketing of unhealthy food and beverages should be restricted, to influence adolescence food choice towards healthier alternatives.
方法:对4-6名参与者进行了四次焦点小组访谈。访谈被记录并逐字转录。将转录本编码在NVivo中,并通过主题分析指导分析。
方法:来自奥斯陆和维肯手球和足球俱乐部的青少年,挪威,参与研究。
方法:共有9名男孩(11-14岁)和10名女孩(11-14岁)参加了研究。
结果:我们确定了4个主要主题:对健康食品的兴趣;在运动场选择食物的经验;影响参与者在运动场选择食物的因素;在运动场选择健康食物的期望。焦点小组的青少年在运动场上经历了不健康的食物选择。价格,不健康食品的营销和供应是影响他们在运动场上选择食物的重要因素。培训师似乎激励参与者吃得健康。
结论:参与者希望在运动场上选择更健康的食物。食物成本成为影响他们食物选择的一个因素。,赞助健康食品可以克服他们购买健康食品的经济障碍。我们的研究还表明,不健康食品和饮料的营销应该受到限制,影响青春期食物选择更健康的替代品。
