Two-phase Transteoretic Model Research for Participation in Physical Activity

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of the first phase of this study is to determine the physical activity (PA) barriers and motivational factors of university students and their body awareness using the transteoretic model (TTM). The aim of the second phase of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at eliminating barriers determined in students who are in the precontemplation, contemplation and preparation stages according to TTM. Also it will be examined the effects of these interventions on PA level.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Exercise: Stages of Change (Short Form) | It consists of the question Do you exercise regularly? and five answers. These answers are precontamplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintanence. | Change from baseline at 8 weeks. | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Exercise Barrier Scale | It was developed in response to a need for an instrument to determine perceptions of individuals concerning the barriers to participating in exercise. | At baseline and 8th weeks | 
| International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form | IPAQ-SF provides information on walking, moderate and vigorous activities and time spent sitting, within a week. | At baseline and 8th weeks | 
| Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity | It is a measurement tool to measure the motivation of students to participate in physical activity. | At baseline and 8th weeks | 
| Body Awareness Questionnaire | he BAQ is an 18-item scale designed to assess self-reported attentiveness to normal nonemotive body processes, specifically, sensitivity to body cycles and rhythms, ability to detect small changes in normal functioning, and ability to anticipate bodily reactions. | At baseline and 8th weeks | 
| Number of steps in weekly | Number of steps in weekly will be recorded by smartphone application. | At baseline and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8th weeks |
