“…또한 운동은 신체 활동의 한 범주로 체력을 유지하고 향상시키기 위하여 계획적 으로 반복 수행되는 구조화된 활동을 의미하는데 조깅, 수영 등 규칙적인 운동 (Posner et al, 1992;Yun et al, 2002)이나 여 가활동 (Sanderson et al, 2002;Pullen et al, 2001)으로 신 체활동을 평가한 연구들이 대부분이어서 가사 활동 등 일상생 활에서의 신체활동이 주가 되는 재가 노인의 신체활동을 정확히 평가하지 못한 제한점이 있었다 (Kaplan et al, 2001;Plonczynski et al, 2008).

Purpose:The aim of this study was to compare the predictors of physical activity between urban and rural dwelling Korean older adults. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive survey. A self-report questionnaire or face to face interviews were used to collect data from 336 older adults (urban: 129, rural: 207) (OR= 0.799, p<.001) were significant factors predicting physical activity in urban elders. Conclusion: These findings provide information that is relevant in designing interventions to enhance physical activity in older adults. There is a need to develop effective mutifaceted physical activity interventions that include reducing psychological barriers such as depression, loneliness.

“…1 In spite of public health efforts to promote physical activity, as many as one in four women do not engage in any physical activity. 2 Women's most commonly perceived barriers to physical activity are lack of time, [3][4][5][6] lack of support, 7 and lack of willpower. 7 One study suggested that mothers are at even higher risk for not getting enough activity than women without children because they have more barriers.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify and determine the influence of perceived intrinsic barriers to physical activity among mothers living in rural areas. Methods: Mothers were identified through a study of child-parent dyads in the predominantly rural states of New Hampshire and Vermont. Using a telephone interview, we asked mothers (n ¼ 1691) about their level of physical activity and assessed eight potential barriers to physical activity. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests, t tests, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparisons for groups within each variable. We used multiple regression analysis to assess associations between perceived barriers to physical activity and self-reported levels of physical activity. Results: Each barrier was inversely associated with physical activity. Multivariate models that included terms for all potential barriers and covariates identified three barriers associated with lower levels of physical activity: lack of self-discipline, lack of time, and lack of interest. Conclusions: Rural mothers are less likely to be physically active if they identify lack of self-discipline, time, or interest as barriers, suggesting that they have difficulty prioritizing exercise for themselves. Interventions aimed at increasing physical activity for mothers should specifically consider these barriers. One possible solution may be to support infrastructure that facilitates active living as the default option, to remove the issue of having to purposefully engage in physical activity as a separate aspect of a mother's life.

“…Scharff et al (1999) designed a questionnaire completed by 653 women seeking medical attention at four community-based family medicine clinics. The researchers found that although younger women had high self-efficacy for exercise, they reported the highest number of barriers, among them child care.…”
