Abstract

Objective: The aim of this methodological study is to test the validity and reliability of the Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire. Method: The study was conducted with a total of 300 women (n = 152) and men (n = 148) who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form and the Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire.. The validity of the scale was assessed by language and coverage validity measures. For reliability analysis, Cronbach alpha values and Split half reliability coefficients were calculated. Results: In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed and KMO 0,84, Bartlett test χ2 value of 2346,96 (p <0,001) are found. The Cronbach alpha value was 0,87 for the total scale. Item total score correlations varied between 0,31-0,59. The split half reliability was found to be 0,72. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was determined that the Turkish version of the Physical Activity Handicap Scale reduced to 22 items was a valid and reliable tool for assessing physical disabilities.
