This study examined perceived benefits and barriers of physical
activities among college students. Exercises Benefits/Barriers Scale
(Sechrist, Walker, & Pender, 1987) was administered to 80
panicipants. Results indicated that the most common perceived
benefits to physical activity for both female and male students were
enjoyment of exercises, and decreased feelings of stress and tension.
The female students also reported that exercise improves mental
health, while for male students it improves strength. Among females
students, the most common barrier to exercising is having no time to
exercise, whereas for male students wanting to do other things with
their time. Costly to exercise, lack of encouragement from family,
taking too much time to exercise, and embarrassment are the other
common barriers to physical activity.
