“…Women felt they should spend almost 14 h in physical activity each week (3.4 haweek more than they currently spend). However, given that lack of time has been identi®ed as a major barrier to being physically active, 27,28 it is doubtful that increases of this magnitude would be feasible for most people. It is also possible that the belief that one needs to perform a large amount of physical activity may act as a barrier in itself, given that lack of motivation and laziness have also been identi®ed as common barriers.…”

“…It is also possible that the belief that one needs to perform a large amount of physical activity may act as a barrier in itself, given that lack of motivation and laziness have also been identi®ed as common barriers. 27,28 Promoting small changes in physical activity performed throughout the day may be more realistic and achievable than increases in structured or planned activity sessions of a long duration. Future research should investigate opportunities to increase occupational and incidental activity, as well as public perceptions of the practicality of making such changes.…”

Physical activity beliefs and behaviours among adults attempting weight control

et al. 2000

OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency and duration of varying intensities of physical activity performed by adults trying to lose weight, avoid gaining weight and not actively trying to control their weight, and to compare these groups' beliefs about the physical activity they should perform. METHOD: Random postal survey of 2500 Victorian adults selected from the Australian electoral roll (response rate 42%). MEASURES: One-week physical activity recall (frequency and duration of walking, other moderate activity and vigorous activity), BMI (based on self-reported height and weight) and weight-control behaviour. RESULTS: At the time of the survey, 27% of respondents were actively trying to avoid gaining weight, 23.9% trying to lose weight and 49.1% undertaking no weight control. Respondents spent a mean time of 4.0 (AE AE7.1) h walking, 5.5 (AE AE7.9) h in moderate activity and 3.1(AE AE5.9) h in vigorous activity during the week prior to the survey. Women trying to lose weight or avoid gaining weight engaged in vigorous activity more often than women not trying to control their weight. After adjusting for age, education and BMI, women trying to avoid gaining weight were 2.4 times more likely, and women trying to lose weight 2.5 times more likely, to have met current physical activity guidelines than women undertaking no weight control. On average, respondents believed they should spend 5.2 (AE AE6.9) h walking, 6.5 (AE AE8.2) h in moderate activity and 4.3 (AE AE6.5) h in vigorous activity each week. Women trying to lose weight felt they should perform vigorous activity more often than other women. Weight-control behaviour was not associated with physical activity beliefs and behaviours of men. CONCLUSION: Walking is a common activity among adults attempting weight control. However, many men and women do not fully recognize the value of moderate-intensity physical activity. Future efforts should be directed at promoting the role of moderate-intensity activity in weight control, particularly activity that can be performed outside of planned activity sessions.

“…Embora Booth et al (1997) tenham encontrado em outras populações de mesma faixa etária a falta de tempo como a principal barreira percebida, o resultado de nossa investigação corrobora com aqueles encontrados em outros estudos (REICHERT et al, 2007;SEBASTIÃO, 2009). Por outro lado, entre os mais velhos as barreiras possuir lesão ou doença e medo de se machucar foram as mais relatadas, confirmando informações produzidas anteriormente em indivíduos de faixa etária relativamente semelhante (BOOTH et al, 1997;SEBASTIÃO, 2009).…”

RESUMOO propósito deste estudo foi analisar a prevalência de barreiras pessoais para a prática de atividade física percebidas em portadores de AIDS. Trinta e cinco sujeitos de ambos os gêneros participaram voluntariamente deste estudo. Três questionários foram aplicados na seguinte sequência: a) barreiras pessoais percebidas para prática de atividade física; b) nível de atividade física habitual e c) socioeconômico. A prevalência de prática de atividade física adequada nas horas de lazer (≥ 150 min/sem) foi de 23,5%. As principais barreiras pessoais percebidas para prática de atividade física identificadas foram: (1) preguiça ou cansaço (48,6%); (2) falta de companhia (45,7%); (3) possuir lesão ou doença (37,2%) e (4) falta de dinheiro e medo de se machucar (34,3%, para ambas). Os resultados sugerem que a principal barreira pessoal percebida para prática de atividade física relatada pelos participantes guarda relação com os efeitos colaterais da medicação antirretroviral utilizada para o controle da AIDS.Palavras-chave: Estilo de vida sedentário.

“…There are five dimensions contributed to the walkable environment (Mariela, 2008); feasibility, accessibility, safety, comfort and pleasurability. (Dieleman, 2002;Ball, 2000;Booth, 1997). In this research, subgroups feasibility dimension deliberate as independent variables, whilst, physical attributes categorized in accessibility, safety, comfort and pleasurability dimension deliberate as dependent variables.…”

Physical attributes for walkable urban neighborhood required summary of indices. The development of indices is based on the hierarchy of walking need theory which applies dimensions of accessibility, safety, comfort and pleasurability. The aim of this research is to construct indices of physical attributes by detecting differential item functioning (DIF) based on respondent's demographic factors and their perceived environment. 7he ßndings using the Rasch model has dropped l6 items and maintains 20 items that reliable to gauge the 4 dimensions. This research could be used to obtain indices in a justly manner and become an indicator for walkable urban neighbourhood model.
