This paper builds on a growing body of literature on the promise of practice theory in understanding and promoting behavior change in society and develops upon Blue (2017) and Spotswood et al.’s (2019) rationale for evolving theories of practice into the domain of contemporary physical activity research. We begin by considering the intersectional nature of the problem. Statistics reveal that physical activity gradients exist based on gender, as well as socio-economic position. Women, girls, and disadvantaged populations report lower levels of activity than more affluent males and females. More problematic still is what StreetGames (2017) call the “double jeopardy”, where these characteristics intersect, intensifying the negative gradient. Our argument then comprises three parts. First, we provide a critical discussion of intervention studies seeking to transform exercise behavior amongst these populations. The issue we identify is that studies typically rely on behavior change models, such as the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and the ABC framework. However, these models tend to take insufficient account of the practical and social aspects of behavior change in physical activity, and thus their subjects often succumb to value-action gaps (Shove, 2010). Second, in contrast, we propose that practice theory provides a promising alternative theoretical lens for promoting behavior change in disadvantaged and often resistant populations. Third, the paper highlights a range of conceptual considerations for exploring the relationship between young, disadvantaged women and physical activity, as well as the development of tangible solutions to improve participation.

超越TTM和ABC：从弱势背景促进青少年女性体育锻炼的实践观点

本文以实践理论对理解和促进社会行为改变的承诺为基础，并在不断壮大的文献基础上发展，并以Blue（2017）和Spotswood等人（2019）的理论为基础进行了发展，以将实践理论发展为社会实践领域。当代体育活动研究。我们首先考虑问题的交叉性质。统计数据表明，体育锻炼存在着基于性别以及社会经济地位的梯度。妇女，女孩和处境不利的人群的活动水平低于富裕的男性和女性。仍存在更多问题的是StreetGames（2017）所说的“双重危险”，这些特征相交，加剧了负梯度。然后我们的论证包括三个部分。第一的，我们对干预研究进行了批判性讨论，这些研究旨在改变这些人群的运动行为。我们确定的问题是，研究通常依赖行为改变模型，例如跨理论模型（TTM）和ABC框架。但是，这些模型往往没有充分考虑体育活动中行为改变的实践和社会方面，因此，它们的主体经常会屈从于价值行动差距（Shove，2010）。其次，相比之下，我们认为实践理论为促进弱势群体和经常抗药性人群的行为改变提供了一个有希望的替代理论视角。第三，本文重点介绍了探索年轻弱势女性与体育锻炼之间关系的一系列概念考量，
