This book was released on 2004 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to literature, particularly from data obtained from the World Health Organisation, physical inactivity or sedentarism is one of the leading causes of the major non-communicable diseases, which contributes substantially to the global burden of diseases, death and disability. The burden of mortality, morbidity and disability attributable to non-communicable diseases is currently greatest and is continuing to grow in the developing countries. Most declines in physical activity are during the transition from high school to college or university. The aim of the study was to ascertain perceptions of physical activity, specifically; perceived benefits of, perceived barriers and perceived helpful motivational factors to physical activity among tertiary institution students in Rwanda, and to find out whether demographic and background characteristics have an influence on these perceptions.

Book Synopsis Physical Activity Among Chinese International Students in American Higher Education by : Zi Yan
Download or read book Physical Activity Among Chinese International Students in American Higher Education written by Zi Yan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese international students in American colleges and universities report low levels of physical activity involvement, which may limit them in terms of realizing their full human potential (i.e., cognitively, physically, socially). The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the psychosocial mechanisms as well as the sociocultural influences to understand physical activity behavior among Chinese international students in American higher education. The first manuscript reviewed the background of physical activity participation among Chinese students. It also reviewed empirical findings related to the Youth Physical Activity Promotion (YPAP) model (Welk, 1999). The second manuscript tested a model of meeting physical activity recommendation (MPAR), using the YPAP model as the guiding framework in an effort to identify theoretical predictors of physical activity participation among Chinese international students. Results revealed that the predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors predicted MPAR among Chinese international students. Different from Welk's (1999) model, however, we found that the enabling and reinforcing factors influenced physical activity indirectly through the predisposing factors, able(i.e., Am I able?) and worth (i.e., Is it worth it?), instead of directly. The results clarify how the YPAP model might be used to understand the physical activity behavior of Chinese international students studying in American colleges and universities. The third manuscript qualitatively explored the physical activity experiences of Chinese female international graduate students in terms of meanings, facilitators, and barriers to participation. It revealed that physical activity provided the participants with a break from their academic work, allowed them some alone time, gave them feelings of accomplishment, and taught them a process for accomplishing other things in their lives. Major facilitators included social influences, the availability of ample resources, their changing perceptions of femininity, and the need to improve or maintain their health. The most frequent barriers included a lack of time, self-efficacy, social support, "how to" information, and cultural barriers. This study adds to our understanding of the physical activity experiences of Chinese international graduate students, as well offers some direction to colleges and universities in the U.S. regarding how they might facilitate the physical activity behavior of Chinese international graduate students in the future. Based on the two empirical studies, colleges and universities ought to provide physical activity resources, as well as social resources, to increase the perceived competence, self-efficacy, positive attitude, and enjoyment of physical activity among Chinese international students. University curriculums and fitness training programs should include cross-cultural course content to increase awareness of the unique needs of international students, as well as to help them to remove barriers to their physical activity participation.
Book Synopsis Perceived Benefits and Perceived Barriers to Exercise in University Employees by : Nancy Jane Jones
Download or read book Perceived Benefits and Perceived Barriers to Exercise in University Employees written by Nancy Jane Jones and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive study investigated perceived benefits and perceived barriers to exercise, physical limitations, and educational needs related to exercise as reported by 1,002 university faculty and staff at a private, liberal arts, Christian university in the south. An online questionnaire reported demographic data, used the 43-item Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) developed by Sechrist, Walker, and Pender (1985) with a four-point Likert scale, and asked four open-ended questions related to perceived barriers to exercise and educational needs. Nola Pender's Revised Health Promotion Model (1996) formed the theoretical basis for the study. The five top perceived benefits of exercise were physical improvements in the following areas: cardiovascular system (99%), physical fitness (98.6%), muscle tone (96.3%), muscle strength (96.3%), and physical endurance (95.6%). The five top perceived barriers to exercise were reported as: exercise was hard work (66.6%), too tiring (56.2%), took too much time (46.6%), fatiguing (41.2%), and difficult related to schedules of exercise facilities (29.7%). The average number of days per week exercised was 3.41. Participants ages 21-40 exercised less than those 41 and older. A physical limitation was mentioned by 52.9% of the sample, yet physical limitations did not prevent exercise activity.
Book Synopsis Motivations and Barriers to Physical Exercise Among African-American Female College Students by : Ajara Eyana Ledford
Download or read book Motivations and Barriers to Physical Exercise Among African-American Female College Students written by Ajara Eyana Ledford and published by . 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.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was divided into three stages. The first phase of the study aimed to examine factors influencing the students' participation in physical activity. Eight female and male university students participated in the focus group. It was found that the participants' perceived benefits of physical activity were physical, psychological and social. Their perceived barriers to physical activity included both internal and external factors. Peer groups and family were found to be influential factors in the participants' decision to engage in physical activity. The second phase was designed to investigate 1,464 Thai university students' stages of change based on the Transtheoretical model (TTM) in relation to physical activity behavior. Regarding the stages of change, 19.6% of the participants were in the Precontemplation stage, 21.8% in the Contemplation stage, 44.2% in the Preparation stage, 8.9% in the Action stage, and 5.5% in the Maintenance stage. The majority of participants' BMI statuses were normal. There were significant differences in response according to gender and BMI status, gender and stages of change, and BMI status and stages of change. The third study used a pre-post randomized control group design to determine the effectiveness of the TTM-based intervention in improving physical activity behavior among university students. 210 freshman students, who classified in Precontemplation, Contemplation and Preparation stages, were randomly assigned to either experiment or control groups in each stage. The students in the experimental group received an eight-week stage-matched intervention, while the students in the control group participated in physical education activity classes. At the follow-up stage, the students in the experiment group significantly improved their scores compared to the baseline in all of the study variables (Stages of Change, Self-Efficacy, Pros, Cons, and Experiential and Behavioral Processes of Change). It was also found that students in the experimental group had higher improvement in Stages of Change, Self- Efficacy, Pros, Experiential and Behavioral Processes of Change, and perceived fewer Cons to physical activity. There were significant differences found in Processes of Change and Physical Activity Levels across Stages of Change, but not in other variables. The results of this study indicated that stage-matched intervention can be an effective means of increasing participation in physical activity among university students.
Book Synopsis College Students' Perceived Benefits, Barriers, and Cues to Vigorous Physical Activity by : Lisa English
Download or read book College Students' Perceived Benefits, Barriers, and Cues to Vigorous Physical Activity written by Lisa English and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine college students' perceived benefits, barriers, cues to action, and extent of involvement in vigorous physical activity. Analyses were also conducted to examine whether benefits, barriers, cues, and vigorous physical activity involvement differed significantly based on: sex, grade level, parental exercise patterns, parental encouragement, peer exercise patterns, and peer encouragement. A convenience sample of 480 participants were surveyed during the 2009 spring and fall quarters. The sample included students from a variety of general education courses. Valid and reliable subscales were developed for the 21 item questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, one-way analyses of variance, and Pearson correlations were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that overall, participants' involvement in vigorous physical activity was low. It was found that parent and peer engagement in and encouragement of vigorous physical activity significantly affected the number of perceived benefits, barriers, cues and involvement in vigorous physical activity. Results also showed significant correlations between the number of perceived benefits, barriers, and cues to vigorous physical activity and the extent of involvement in vigorous physical activity. Recommendations have been included for future studies.
