The reduced physical activity of women when they become mothers is a public health priority. Existing studies show that mothers have little time for leisure, or time that is fragmented and requiring negotiation with others. However, the temporal features of mothering are undertheorised and qualitative studies tend to focus on how mothers can skilfully construct physically active identities and balance societal expectations about being a “good mother”. In line with other research that focuses on the configuration of everyday practices that condition the “possibilities” for health-related practices like physical activity, we shift our focus away from the resisting capacities of mothers to the temporal features of mothering practices. We interrogate the lived experiences of 15 mothers of preschool children in deprived urban areas and illuminate the inherent temporal dimensions, demands and dispositions of mothering practices that condition the possibility of leisure time physical activity being undertaken. Together, these temporal features mean mothering practices can readily work against leisure time physical activity. The focus on the mothering practices rather than mothers brings a novel perspective for developing public health policy designed to support mothers into regular leisure time physical activity.

“我们只是被困在日常生活中”:闲暇时间体育活动的时间维度、需求和母亲倾向的影响

女性在成为母亲后减少体力活动是公共卫生的优先事项。现有研究表明,母亲几乎没有闲暇时间,或者时间很碎片化,需要与他人协商。然而,母亲的时间特征被低估了,定性研究倾向于关注母亲如何巧妙地构建身体活跃的身份并平衡社会对成为“好母亲”的期望。与其他关注日常实践配置的研究一致,这些研究决定了与健康相关的实践(如体育锻炼)的“可能性”,我们将重点从母亲的抵抗能力转移到了母亲实践的时间特征上。母亲实践的时间维度要求倾向,这些实践决定了进行闲暇时间体育活动的可能性。总之,这些时间特征意味着母亲的做法可以很容易地对抗休闲时间的体育活动。关注母性实践而不是母亲为制定旨在支持母亲定期进行休闲体育活动的公共卫生政策带来了新的视角。
