“…5 Previous studies have reported that more financial stress is associated with fewer PA in individuals. 30 From the participant's point of view, another obstacle for regular PA was non-supportive environment, such as financial hardship, restrictions caused by COVID-19, 10,11 lack of perceived social support, poor political and legal support, inadequate availability and accessibility to sports equipment and spaces, climate conditions, air pollution and seasonal limitations that can have an synergistic effect on each other. 31,32 This means that behavior does not occur on its own, and individuals do behave in response to environmental conditions.…”

Background: Despite the intention to perform physical activity (PA), a number of individuals cannot manage to have PA program on a regular basis. In this study we explored the barriers of regular PA behavior among healthy adults in Tabriz, Iran. Methods: This qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach, was carried out from June to September 2020. Nineteen 30-59 years old individuals, were purposefully (purposive sampling) selected to participate in the study. The participants were formerly registered as "physically inactive" in the health records of Tabriz Health System. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted until data saturation. Data were managed using MAXQDA-10 software. Results: The barriers of regular PA that emerged from our data were being listless and lethargic, non-supportive environment, disintegration in PA education chain, and restrictive social norms. Conclusion: Our findings uncover several PA barriers that are less discussed in the literature. Poor level of regular PA among adults in Iran, as a developing context, is rooted in perceptions with social and economic origins, which should be taken into account by public health policy makers while planning PA promotion programs in such communities. To promote regular PA among healthy adults in developing countries, regular PA programs should be tailored to bridge the gap between their recognition of PA barriers and subsequent behavior change through creating group dynamics highlighting the measures to diminish the behavior.
