Testing the Turkish Version of the Barriers to Being Active Quiz for Healthy Adults Aged 18 to 35

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the Turkish version of the Barriers to Being Active Quiz BBAQ-T, a tool originally developed in English to identify barriers to physical activity. This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the BBAQ into Turkish and assess its reliability and validity among healthy adults. A total of 210 participants will be involved, mainly healthy university students aged 18 to 35 years. The study follows a standardized translation and back-translation method using bilingual translators. After a pilot study with 15 participants to check clarity and relevance, the full group will complete the BBAQ-T twice within 5 to 7 days to evaluate test-retest reliability. Researchers will analyze internal consistency and compare the BBAQ-T with related questionnaires, including the Self-Perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Short Form-12 SF-12. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing barriers to physical activity and related health concepts at baseline and a second time within a week. The study measures how consistent and valid the Turkish version of the quiz is by comparing results from different assessments. This observational study will last from May 20, 2025, to August 20, 2025, involving healthy adults who can read and write in Turkish and do not have conditions that might affect participation.
