“…SOCPA, namely being in passive stages of change ,were associated with having significantly higher average score for total, internal and external PA barriers and the score relating to barriers decreased significantly across stages of change from inactive to active. This finding is in agreement with previous research results in Saudi [28] and also Spanish university students [20]. On this last, a longitudinal intervention found that PA level not only depended on barriers, but also on motives; suggesting that PA motives are more stable and more related to life-style than barriers, which are more associated to the individual's current situation.…”

“…The main findings indicated a low score for total barriers, identified higher scores in external barriers, ("too much work", "lack of time" and "laziness") and confirmed gender, PSOCPA and self-perceived health were associated with barriers to PA. Our findings confirmed that among college students, external barriers prevailed over the internal ones. Regarding external, lack of time has been the most highlighted in our study and similar outcomes can be found in studies carried out between university students in England (UK) (16), Saudi Arabia [28], Egypt [29] and also in Spain [20] [30]. Taking into account that in many cases this student moves away from home, a likely explanation would be the progressive increase in responsibilities, academic task and the difficult to combine studies, social and family commitments with the practice of PA.…”

“…Taking into account that in many cases this student moves away from home, a likely explanation would be the progressive increase in responsibilities, academic task and the difficult to combine studies, social and family commitments with the practice of PA. Regarding internal, fatigue-laziness has been the most highlighted barrier, as was the case in studies with university students in Turkey [31] Malaysia [32] and also Spain [20] [30]. A feasible explanation about this internal perceptions results complex and as it is suggested by some investigations possibly rather more related with the contribution of the school programs of PA to maintain positive attitude towards PA [33] than with the pre-adolescent fitness level [34].…”

“…Since perceived barriers to being active are the single main predictor of health behaviour change [16], identifying barriers to PA for university students is a key issue to develop and implement successful PA promotion programs for this group [17]. In Spain, evidence has shown that a high percentage of inactive students (75%) know the benefits of regular PA [18] [19], that extrinsic motivation predominates in the early Stages of Change (SOC) for PA and, that intrinsic motivation is important for progression towards the maintenance stage [20]. However, barriers for PA have been barely examined in Spanish university students.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of readiness of change for physical activity (PA), sociodemographic factors, lifestyle and physical activity status (PAS) on perceived barriers among Spanish university students. Participants: Seven hundred and seventy two (n = 772) men and women ages 17 -39 at a north-west regional university in Spain participated in the study. Methods: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the States of Change for Physical Activity Behaviour Questionnaire and the Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire were used. Description, correlation and multiple regression analyses were completed. Results: Participants self-perceived low average-score barriers (2.6 ± 1.4 over 10.0). The 3-higher scores barriers corresponded to "too much work"; "lack of time for exercise" and "laziness". Gender, PAS and self-perceived health were shown to be associated with perceived barriers. Conclusions: University institutions should consider those factors that predict barriers to PA to develop effective intervention programs.

“…Os 51 itens respondidos em uma escala de tipo Likert em seis pontos, vão de "absolutamente falso para mim" (0) a "muito verdadeiro para mim" (5). Esta escala tem sido usada nos EUA (Ingledew, Markland & Medley, 1998;Ingledew & Sullivan, 2002) e fora dele (Capdevila, 2000;Capdevila, Niñerola & Pintanel, 2004).…”

Neste estudo, a motivação é entendida à luz da teoria da Autodeterminação. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar os índices de consistência interna e fatorial confirmatório do IMPRAFE-126. Utilizou-se uma amostra de 1.377 sujeitos, gaúchos, de ambos os sexos e com idades variando de 13 a 83 anos. Os resultados dos índices alfa de Cronbach (superiores a 0,89) foram satisfatórios. A adequação do modelo em seis dimensões foi testada e a validade confirmatória foi assumida para a amostra geral (x2/gl=2,520; GFI=0,859; AGFI=0,854; RMSEA=0,065) e para os sexos masculino (x2/gl=3,905; GFI=0,885; AGFI=0,881; RMSEA=0,066) e feminino (x2/gl=4,337; GFI=0,840; AGFI=0,831; RMSEA=0,068). Esses resultados indicam que o IMPRAFE-126 é um instrumento promissor e que pode ser oportunamente utilizado por psicólogos do esporte ou educadores físicos, aqueles particularmente interessados em avaliar os níveis de motivação de atletas ou praticantes de atividade física e esporte em geral. Entretanto, outros estudos de validade, fidedignidade e de normas devem ser conduzidos a fim de poder-se publicá-los em um futuro próximo.

Evidências de validade da versão brasileira do Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 em contexto de academia e personal training

Este estudo teve como objetivos verificar a validade fatorial e a validade interna da versão brasileira do Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 (EMI-2) e comparar os principais motivos para prática de exercício tendo em conta os contextos de academia e personal training. Um total de 588 praticantes de exercício da cidade de Pelotas/RS/Brasil (405 de academia e 183 de personal training) preencheram o EMI-2, o qual é constituído por 51 itens, agrupados em 14 motivos (fatores) para prática de exercício físico. A validade fatorial do EMI-2 foi testada através da realização de análises fatoriais confirmatórias e a validade interna através do alfa de Cronbach. Para a verificar o efeito do contexto nos motivos foi utilizada a MANOVA e calculado o tamanho do efeito. Os resultados obtidos dão suporte à estrutura original do EMI-2 com 14 fatores, nesta amostra. Verificou-se um efeito multivariado significativo do contexto sobre os motivos de prática [Wilks' λ = 0.912, F (14, 573.000) = 3.9, p < 0.001, η² = 0.088]. Os motivos de "Prazer", "Força e resistência", "Desafio", "Socialização", "Competição" e "Reconhecimento Social" foram significativamente superiores no contexto de academia e os motivos de "Agilidade" e "Prevenção de Doenças" foram significativamente superiores no contexto de personal training. Palavras-chaves: evidências de validade, análise fatorial confirmatória, EMI-2 ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify the factorial and internal validity of the Brazilian version of Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 (EMI-2) and compare the main reasons for exercise training considering the contexts of health clubs and personal training. A total of 588 exercisers of Pelotas city / RS / Brazil (405 from health clubs and 183 from personal training) filled the EMI-2, which consists of 51 items grouped into 14 motives (factors) for exercise. The factorial validity of the EMI-2 was tested by conducting confirmatory factorial analyzes and the internal validity by computing Cronbach's alpha. To verify the effect of the context on the motives it was used the MANOVA test and calculated the effect-size. The results obtained support the EMI-2 original structure of 14 factors in this sample. There was a significant multivariate effect of the context on the motives for exercising [Wilks' λ = 0.912, F (14, 573.000) = 3.9, p < 0.001, η² = 0.088]. The motives of "Pleasure", "Strength and Endurance", "Challenge", "Socialization", "Competition" and "Social Recognition" were significantly higher in the context of health clubs and the motives of "Agility" and "Prevention of Diseases" were significantly higher in the context of personal training.
