Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Barriers to Being Active Quiz

  The Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ) is a 21-item questionnaire originally developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to identify perceived barriers to physical activity. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (very unlikely) to 3 (very likely). The scale includes seven sub-dimensions: lack of time, social influences, lack of energy, lack of willpower, fear of injury, lack of skills, and lack of resources. A subscale score of 5 or higher indicates a significant barrier in that domain. In this study, the BBAQ will be translated and cross-culturally adapted into Turkish following standardized guidelines.
