Two-phase Transteoretic Model Research for Participation in Physical Activity

Barriers to Participation in Physical Activity Among University Students: Which Intervention? Two-phase Study Using Transteoretic Model

The purpose of the first phase of this study is to determine the physical activity (PA) barriers and motivational factors of university students and their body awareness using the transteoretic model (TTM).

The aim of the second phase of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at eliminating barriers determined in students who are in the "precontemplation", "contemplation" and "preparation" stages according to TTM. Also it will be examined the effects of these interventions on PA level.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Exercise: Stages of Change (Short Form)	It consists of the question "Do you exercise regularly?" and five answers. These answers are "precontamplation", "contemplation", "preparation", "action" and "maintanence".	Change from baseline at 8 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Exercise Barrier Scale	It was developed in response to a need for an instrument to determine perceptions of individuals concerning the barriers to participating in exercise.	At baseline and 8th weeks
International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form	IPAQ-SF provides information on walking, moderate and vigorous activities and time spent sitting, within a week.	At baseline and 8th weeks
Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity	It is a measurement tool to measure the motivation of students to participate in physical activity.	At baseline and 8th weeks
Body Awareness Questionnaire	he BAQ is an 18-item scale designed to assess self-reported attentiveness to normal nonemotive body processes, specifically, sensitivity to body cycles and rhythms, ability to detect small changes in normal functioning, and ability to anticipate bodily reactions.	At baseline and 8th weeks
Number of steps in weekly	Number of steps in weekly will be recorded by smartphone application.	At baseline and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8th weeks
