Self-efficacy and motivation as predictors of physical activity status in a climbing community / Azfar Abrar and Ummi Kalthum Mohd Mokhtar

Understanding barriers to sports participation and physical activity levels is crucial for fostering a healthy lifestyle. This study focuses on the Camp5 climbing community, aiming to identify obstacles hindering participation, assess their physical activity status, and examine the relationship between these factors [1]. The findings aim to contribute valuable insights to promote engagement in climbing and other physical activities, ultimately supporting better health and well-being. This study employed a quantitative, non-experimental survey approach to examine barriers to sports participation and physical activity status. Data were collected via an online questionnaire from 129 Camp5 climbers selected through simple random sampling. The IPAQ-SF questionnaire assessed physical activity status, while descriptive and correlation analyses identified key barriers and their relationship with activity status, offering insights into participation challenges within the climbing community [2].
