This study aims to determine the factors which constraint and facilitate individuals’ participation to physical activities. Sample group of the study consist of 691 individuals who live in different districts of Ankara and chosen by random sampling method. In the study “Leisure Constraints Scale-18” is used to determine the factors that constraint individuals’ participation to physical activities and “Leisure Facilitators Scale” to determine the factors that facilitate the individuals’ participation to physical activities. As a statistical method frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, single factorial MANOVA, and Pearson Correlation tests were used. According to the analysis results, it is determined that “Intrinsic Facilitators” is a factor that affects women to participate physical activity and has a higher role in constraining single participants to join physical activity. Furthermore, it is revealed that perceptions of constraint decrease with the increase in participants’ level of income. As a result, the most important factor that constraints individuals’ participation to physical activity is “Structural Constraints” and the most important factor that facilitates is “Intrapersonal Facilitators”.  Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı bireylerin fiziksel aktivitelere katılımını engelleyen/kısıtlayan ve kolaylaştıran faktörleri belirlemektir.

e-Learning has been widely used in educational settings especially in developing countries like Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to investigate e-learning readiness among Indonesian university students and to compare students’ perceptions of their workload (including mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, frustration, and sleepiness) in e-learning and classical learning settings. A survey was conducted with students in an Indonesian university. The results show that students have a high level of e-learning readiness. Mental workload is significantly higher in e-learning than in face-to-face learning. No significant difference in sleepiness was found between e-learning and face-to-face learning. The correlation between e-learning readiness and the mental workload was not significant. Implications of the results are discussed.
