“…Some barriers discussed by participants were personal and professional obligations, inclement weather, injuries and illnesses, and psychosocial issues. Some of these findings are also supported in the literature, such as lack of time, boredom, fatigue, injuries, and safety concerns as barriers to regular physical activity (Resnick, 2001;Brady & Nies, 1999;Evans & Nies, 1997;Nies & Chrusical, 2002;Zaravar & Nies, 1997). In addition, an inadequate support system played a role in some participants'inability to meet their goals.…”

“…Despite the overwhelming evidence that regular physical activity is beneficial, previous studies (Brady & Nies, 1999;Evans & Nies, 1997;Nies & Chrusical, 2002;Zaravar & Nies, 1997) indicate that women face many barriers to engaging in regular physical activity. One of the biggest problems women have is lack of time for physical activity.…”

“…She also may not have the time nor the means to go to an alternative location. This issue can be a problem for all women, especially those of lower socioeconomic status (Brady & Nies, 1999;Evans & Nies, 1997;Nies & Chrusical, 2002;Zaravar & Nies, 1997).…”

“…The older the participant (≥25 years) the higher the perceived social contact, relaxation, and physical performance are perceived with higher intensity and with statistically significant differences than the younger participants (≤25 years) do, in line with previous research ( Lunn, 2010 ; Belanger et al, 2011 ). On the other hand, regarding the perception of barriers, lack of facilities is the barrier perceived with higher intensity by the younger participants, unlike other disciplines ( Nies and Chrusical, 2002 ; Rodríguez et al, 2009 ), due to the characteristics of horseback riding. The rest of the barriers are perceived with similar intensity, as in other studies ( Juarbe et al, 2002 ; Lovell et al, 2010 ).…”

Although horseback riding is not specifically mentioned in the recommendations for different age groups regarding the level of physical activity necessary for good health, its practice continues to grow in popularity throughout the world. Despite being a minority discipline, it has some characteristics that make it an opportunity for its participants to be active people, so it is important to understand what are the perceived health benefits and barriers to participation. The aim of the study is to describe and analyze the perceived health benefits and barriers in horseback riding among riders categorized by level and age, in order to promote physical activity through these benefits and to overcome the barriers. An online version of the EBBS (Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale) was used to analyze benefits and barriers. The sample consisted of 2,651 participants (95.9% women and 4.1% men) in an equestrian event, distributed in four age groups (79.4% up to 25 years, 11.5% between 26 and 35, 7.9% between 36 and 50, and 1.2 older than 50 years). Perceived benefits and participation barriers to horseback riding were analyzed. The factor analysis identified and confirmed five benefit factors and four barrier factors. Benefit factors were significantly correlated among them but barriers were less interrelated. Higher ages were associated to larger benefits and less barrier effects. Benefit and barrier differences were larger between amateur and professional riders, compared to gender differences.

“…Keeping a regular workout routine is difficult for women for a variety of reasons. 35,36 Age, marital status, socioeconomic situation, and educational level are some of the most important demographic variables that affect physical activity. A lower degree of physical activity was often linked with being married and having a lower income or education.…”

Objective: Physical exercise has been shown to protect against a wide range of degenerative and life-threatening illnesses. Men in Mosul are more physically active than women, according to recent research. The goal of this research was to find out if the women value exercise and whether there are any obstacles in their way. Methods: The research included 400 female participants were chosen from university of Mosul, Iraq, all between the ages of 25 and 60. Physical activity-related questions were answered by women, and comments on the advantages and disadvantages of exercise were evaluated by them. Results showed that 70% of those who took part in the research did not engage in any physical activity. Physical, psychological, and social health advantages, environmental and personal obstacles, and timelessness were the perceived benefits and hurdles to exercise in order of importance. Conclusion: To some degree, the attitudes of Mosulian women toward exercising may be explained by the findings. Further research using bigger samples is required. Keywords: Women, Exercise, Health benefits
