Individuals with disabilities are at an increased risk of developing obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes due to lack of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to understand the different role’s barriers,self-determination, and self-efficacy play in physical activity participation. There was a total of 183 participants who took an online survey that assessed self-efficacy, self-determination, and barriers. Results indicated that with an increase in self-efficacy there was also an increase in self-determination. This study also suggests that with an increase in barriers that are imposed by family, friends, and health, there is also a decrease in self-efficacy. With more education on exercise training, inclusivity, support, and providing a sense of belonging, there is more of a possibility of increasing retention rates at fitness centers for IWD. 2021-07-30 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1627478373571089 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1627478373571089 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
