| dc.description.abstract | The Active Life Constraints Scale (ALCS) (Heath, 2009) total 5010 participants selected by simple random sampling method. In the original version, there are 21 items and 7 subscales, and it is in four-point likert type; however, in the Turkish adaptation, it is seen after confirmatory factor analysis that the scale has 7 subscales and 20 items. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted to test the reliability of the scale, the cronbach alpha value of the 20-item scale was found 0.819. For the subscales, the reliability scores were found as follows: lack of time 0.981, social effect 0.921, lack of energy 0.854, lack of will 0.773, fear of injury 0.862, lack of skill 0.875 and lack of resources 0.816. Independent variables were evaluated using MANOVA analysis which revealed that the main effect of the variable age is significant in all subscales of ALCS, the main effect of the variable gender is significant in social effect, lack of will and lack of skill subscales, the main effect of the variable bodymass index is significant only in lack of energy subscale. It is determined that 45-54 years of age group has the highest scores from the subscales lack of time, lack of energy and lack of will of ALCS in terms of age variable. When gender variable is considered, it is determined that both women and men have high scores from lack of energy subscale. When body mass index variable is considered, overweight participants have the high scores from lack of energy subscale. Finally, it could be suggested that the most important factors that constrain adults from an active life are lack of energy, lack of time and lack of will | |
