Perceived Barrier, Perceived Benefits and Self-Efficacy Factors influencing Physical Activity Behaviour

Abstract

Physical activity is the body movement that increases the use of energy in the body. Furthermore, physical activity can also improve a person's health and prevent chronic diseases such as heart attack, obesity, and others. Nowadays, the community in Malaysia, especially teenagers, do less physical activity due to a lack of awareness and knowledge about the benefits of doing physical activity in daily life. In this study, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, andself-efficacy are used as key points of determinants of physical activity behaviour
