Barriers To Physical Activity

Youth with visual impairments (VIs) often experience unique barriers to physical activity compared with their sighted peers. A psychometrically sound scale for assessing barriers to physical activity for youth with VI is needed to facilitate research. The purpose of this study was to confirm the ability of the previously identified three-factor structure of the Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire for youth with Visual Impairments (PABQ-VI) to produce scores considered to be valid and reliable that perform equally well across age, VI severity, and gender. Our results supported the three-factor structure and that the PABQ-VI produces scores considered valid and reliable. Mean, variance, and correlation differences were found in personal, social, and environmental barriers for age and VI severity, but not gender. Researchers can use the PABQ-VI to test and evaluate ways to reduce barriers for this population.

Physical Activity Scale

Attitudes toward physical activity were examined in relation to sports classification (nonambulatory vs. ambulatory) and gender for elite cerebral palsied athletes and were compared to attitudes of elite Canadian able-bodied athletes (Alderman, 1970). Subjects were 165 CP adult athletes who competed in the 1983 National CP Games, Ft. Worth, Texas. Data were collected by interview on the Simon and Smoll Attitude Toward Physical Activity Scale (SATPA). SATPA answers were treated with MANOVA and ANOVA, and the Scheffé test was used for post hoc analysis. No significant difference was found among class, gender, and class-by-gender combinations in attitudes toward physical activity. Adult CP athletes have positive attitudes toward the total concept of physical activity, but are significantly less favorably disposed to physical activity as a thrill and as long and hard training than as social experience, health and fitness, beauty, and tension release.

Physical Activity Scale

The aim of this study was to investigate attitudes of university students to play educational games and gamesconsisting of physical activity. Totally, 514 students (187 male, 327 female) were taken part in this research. Datawas gathered through Attitudes to Play Games Consist of Physical Activity Scale (Playfulness Scale) which wasdeveloped by Hazar (2014). The scale has 23 items. In evaluation part for questionnaires answered by participants,Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test, Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal Wallis tests were applied. According to theresults, it was statistically determined that there were significant differences between playing games consist ofphysical activity attitudes and gender, practicing any sport licenced and age (p<0,05); but there were not significantdifferences on analyses done for academic success (p>0,05).
