Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceived barriers of physical activity and demographic information. Both female and male high school students reported "having a friend to exercise with" as the most helpful cue to physical activity. The most likely benefit of physical activity among females was "to stay in shape", while the most likely benefit among males was "to become strong". The most likely barrier to physical activity among females was "having no time to exercise", while the most likely barrier among males was "wanting to do other things with my time". These results showed that the perceived cues to action, benefits and barriers to physical activity differed significantly based on whether the respondent was male or female. It is important to design strategies to increase activity levels which address females and males different motivations for engaging in physical activity. Recommendations to increase adolescent activity levels include encouraging parents to serve as positive role models of physical activity, and using physical education classes as a means to encourage regular activity.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined differences between groups of exercising and non-exercising African American female college students. Groups where compared on a variety of psychosocial variables including perceived motivations, universal barriers, African American cultural barriers, and rejection sensitivity to race. The utility of self-efficacy as a moderator of perceived barriers was also explored. Lastly, the moderating role of ethnic identity on the perception of African American cultural barriers was examined. The results of this study supported the predicted relationship of physical exercise status with perceived positive motives/benefits and perceived universal barriers of exercise. However, the results revealed no significant relationships of exercise status and the African-American cultural barriers or rejection-sensitivity to race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The research question addressed in this capstone was, what are the perceived barriers that negatively affect females participation in secondary physical education? Key influences for this capstone came from observation of the lack of participation and motivation of teenage girls in physical education classes. This capstone goes in depth uncovering the factors that play a part in influencing females to stray away from participating in physical education classes, notably: curriculum, teacher influence, social interaction, body centered issues and perceived competence. Two methods, surveys and a focus group, were used to discover the perceived barriers in females currently taking PE in an international school. In the focus group, common themes emerged along with strategies shared by the girls from their experiences in PE. These results are meant to help future physical education teachers encourage and support female participation in a PE environment." --

Book excerpt: Physical activity levels tend to decline as students transition from high school to college, and freshmen college women may be particularly susceptible to physical activity barriers. It is possible that providing physical activity resources and support via text messages could assist freshmen women in increasing their physical activity levels. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a mobile group-based intervention for freshmen female college students on physical activity and sedentary behavior. In addition, we examined intervention effects on social support, enjoyment, and stress in this population. Freshmen females (n=30) were recruited to participate in a 9-week intervention that involved wearing a physical activity monitor for three individual weeks (week 0, week 5, and week 9) and receiving tailored weekly messages via GroupMe. Participants were randomly assigned to groups of 6-7 participants, and each group was moderated by one research assistant. GroupMe discussions were specifically formatted to provide physical activity social support, promote physical activity enjoyment, enhance knowledge about benefits of physical activity, suggest ways to decrease sedentary behavior, and increase awareness of various physical activity resources on campus, such as the recreational center. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Additionally, follow-up focus group sessions were conducted during the fall semester of the participants' sophomore year to gain further feedback about the intervention. We hypothesized that students would demonstrate increases in physical activity, enjoyment, and social support, and decreases in sedentary behavior and stress after participating in the intervention. Results revealed no significant changes in physical activity or sedentary behavior based on objective data from the activPALs. A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test of self-reported physical activity and sedentary behavior (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) indicated increases in self-reported sitting time from baseline to post-intervention (Z=-2.654, p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of barriers to physical activity have been identified and these barriers take new forms in relation to African American women. This study examined how the intersectionality of race and gender play a pivotal role in African American women's physical activity. I sought to understand whether there were differences in barriers and strategies reported between physically active and inactive groups, whether the perception of barriers and barrier self-efficacy were predictors of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and what types of strategies African American women use to overcome barriers. African American women completed and online survey and a subset participated in semi-structured interviews. Results indicated that both physically active and inactive women within the sample faced similar barriers and utilized similar strategies, but the perceived effectiveness differed between the two groups. Both perception of barriers (p= .045) and barrier self-efficacy (p= .043) were significant predictors in a regression predicting MVPA. Analysis of semi-structured in depth interviews uncovered five major themes: Health Perceptions within the African American Community are an Obstacle to Healthy Behaviors; Gender Differences and Gendered Activity Expectations , Hair as a Constraint to Physical Activity for African American Women; The Role of Body Image as a Barrier and a Facilitator of physical activity, and The Role of a Physical Activity Environment in Negotiating Constraints.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Physical Activity Level and Perceptions of Body Image - a High School Female Perspective written by Nicole Anne Ludwa and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite all the known social, mental, and physical benefits of physical activity, a large percentage of girls choose to engage in even less physical activity than they did as young children. Social acceptance is at its highest during the adolescent age and societal differences generated from parents, friends, and the media have created women whose general life contentment is often correlated to their perceived body image. -- This mixed methods study—based on the social learning, social comparison, and feminist theories—sought to explore how physical activity level affects body image in high school females. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A; Kowalski, Crocker, & Donen, 2004), the Body Image States Scale (BISS; Cash, Fleming, Alindogan, Steadman, & Whitehead, 2002), and the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2; Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015) were used to survey high school females’ physical activity levels and perceptions of body image. After survey results were analyzed, no significant relationship was found between physical activity level and body image. -- Using convergent parallel design, the researcher interviewed volunteer participants and discovered a variety of factors that contributed to the choice to be physically active and to an adolescent female’s perception of body image. Future research concerning the relationship between factors identified in the study is necessary to more comprehensively understand females’ choice to be physically active and their development of body image.
