Abstract
Understanding men's perceptions and beliefs about physical activity could help us improve the effectiveness of health promotion walking programs. This study explores men's perceptions and beliefs about a structured walking program, including what hinders and what enhances their engagement. Qualitative methods were used to explore men's lived experiences of engaging in a walking program over a one-year period.
Focus groups and in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 184 men selected from three established men's well-being groups. The men highlighted themes that enhanced or hindered their involvement and these are understood in terms of interpersonal, intrapersonal and socio-environmental influences.
