FERNANDEZ RINCON, Carmen Aydé y ROPERO GIRALDO, Fabián Alexis. Perceived Benefits , Barriers and Physical Activity Level of University Students. Investig. andina [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.31, pp.1391-1406. Epub 21-Sep-2016. ISSN 0124-8146.
Objectives:
Identify the perceived benefits, barriers and level of physical activity on university students in the city of Armenia (Colombia).
Method:
It is a quantitative descriptive method; with the participation of 258 undergraduates students. The instruments were based on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the scale of benefits and barriers of Pender & Pender.
Results:
It was found in an analysis of continuous variables, a moderate level of physical activity; but more specific studies, only those who have a type of vigorous physical activity are in that category. The perceived benefits are found to be high and median barriers is being the most physical kind of perception.
Conclusion:
Students have a moderate level of physical activity, proportional to those who do vigorous physical activity; there is a high appreciation of the beneficial and medium perception of barriers.
