Analyses were also conducted to examine whether benefits, barriers, cues, and vigorous physical activity involvement differed significantly based on: sex, grade level, parental exercise patterns, parental encouragement, peer exercise patterns, and peer encouragement.A convenience sample of 480 participants were surveyed during the 2009 spring and fall quarters. The sample included students from a variety of general education courses. Valid and reliable subscales were developed for the 21 item questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, one-way analyses of variance, and Pearson correlations were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that overall, participants' involvement in vigorous physical activity was low. It was found that parent and peer engagement in and encouragement of vigorous physical activity significantly affected the number of perceived benefits, barriers, cues and involvement in vigorous physical activity. Results also showed significant correlations between the number of perceived benefits, barriers, and cues to vigorous physical activity and the extent of involvement in vigorous physical activity. Recommendations have been included for future studies. 2009 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1258663443 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1258663443 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
