“…Physical Activity Efficacy Scale Developed by Campbell et al [20] and adapted to the Turkish society by Saygın et al [43], Physical Activity Efficacy Scale (PAES) was used. The scale was made up of 5 dimensions and 26 items, and the reliability co-efficient of the scale was .40-.92.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the physical activity efficacy and physical activity of the middle school students, according to gender and to analyze the relationship between them. Material: The study group consisted of a total of 701 students from three public secondary schools, 343 of whom were female and 358 were male students. In order to determine the physical activity efficacy of the students, the Physical Activity Efficacy Scale was used, while the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children was used for establishing the level of physical activity. In evaluating the data, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson correlation tests were used as statistical methods. Results: According to the data obtained by the study, the students’ physical activity efficacy was found to be good, with no difference between the females and the males (p>0.05). The students’ physical activity level was average, while the males were found to be physically more active than the females (p<0.05). A positive correlation was found between the physical activity efficacy and the physical activity of the students (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, physical activities should be increased during the time of the middle school, which is a part of the period of adolescence. Besides, in order to enhance their physical activity efficacy, the adolescents should be provided with physical activity environments.

“…Also, according to the reliability analysis, the dimension "in transportation" was quite reliable while all other dimensions were highly reliable. On the other hand, the compliance values of the measurement model according to the CFA results was found as 2=559.7, df = 289, 2/df = 1.93; CFI = 0.950, IFI = 0.951, NFI = 0.903; RMSEA = 0.068 which was developed by Campbell et al (2016) and adapted into Turkish by Saygın et al, (2017) was used in the study. DSPAEQ consists of 5 dimensions and 26 items (at school: 6 items, during transportation: 3 items, in the house: 5 items, during leisure and recreation: 6 items, and during school trips and transportation: 6 items).…”

The adolescence period is a very critical developmental period for personality, socializing and promotion of physical activity. In this regard, the aim of this study was to compare domain-specific physical activity efficacy level between adolescent boys and girls. A total of 219 girls (body weight: 57.50± 10.44 kg, height: 160.30± 7.40 cm, age 16.15±0.96 years) and 145 high school boys (body weight: 63.45± 10.10 kg, height: 173.71± 5.49cm, age 16.20±3.49) participated in this study. Physical activity efficacy level was evaluated by the Domain Specific Physical Activity Efficacy Questionnaire (DSPAEQ) which was adapted into Turkish by Saygın et al. (2017). Statistical analysis has shown DSPAEQ score differences between girls and boys (p<0.05). Scores for the school activity (p<0.05), transportation activity (p<0.05) and leisure activity (p<0.05) sub-dimensions were higher in boys than in girls. However, the household activity sub-dimension score was higher in girls than in boys (p<0.05). The results from this study indicated that adolescent girls should be encouraged towards more physical activity both at school and out of school. However, comprehensive studies with larger samples are needed for a better understanding of the participation of adolescents in physical activity.

Background and Study Aim. Physical activity encompasses a range of behaviors across different domains. A critical aspect is the correlation between the frequency of physical activity and perceived competence in these activities. This study aims to explore the relationship between the levels of physical activity and the self-assessed proficiency in physical activities among university students who opt for health-related elective courses. Material and Methods. This study involved 88 university students enrolled in health-related elective courses, including Spinal Health (SH), Posture Disorder (PD), and Physical Activity in Health Promotion (PAHP). Data collection was conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Physical Activity Efficacy Scale (PAES) surveys. For data analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey test, a Post-hoc multiple comparison method, were employed. Results. The study revealed a weak negative correlation between IPAQ-SF and PAES scores. This indicates that as self-confidence and sense of competence increased, the level of physical activity decreased (p<0.05). Participants in the PAHP course exhibited higher levels of physical activity, as reflected in their PAES scores, compared to those enrolled in the SH course (p<0.05). Despite having a lower average income, students in the PAHP course demonstrated higher physical activity levels than those in other courses. Conclusions. The study demonstrated that as levels of physical activity efficacy increase, actual physical activity levels decrease, and vice versa. Furthermore, students enrolled in PAHP courses exhibited improved physical activity scores compared to those in other courses. It was also concluded that the income level of students does not significantly impact their level of physical activity.
