Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale
Time Frame: three months after Covid 19 recognised as pandemic
The Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) was developed in response to a need for an instrument to determine perceptions of individuals concerning the benefits of and barriers to participating in exercise. The instrument may be scored and used in its entirety or as two separate scales. The instrument has a four-response, forced-choice Likert-type format with responses ranging from 4 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree). Scores on the total instrument can range from 43 to 172. The higher the score, the more positively the individual perceives exercise. When the Benefits Scale is used alone, the score range is between 29 and 116. When the Barriers Scale is used alone, scores range between 14 and 56. If used alone, the Barriers Scale does not need to be reverse-scored. In this instance, the higher the score on the Barriers Scale, the greater the perception of barriers to exercise.
