Influences of social support, perceived barriers, and negative meanings of physical activity on physical activity in middle school students.
J Phys Act Health. 2011; (2): 210-9
A profound decline in physical activity occurs in puberty. This phenomenon is not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine associations between family/friend social support for physical activity, negative meanings of physical activity (NMPA), and internal /external barriers to physical activity with moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and sedentary and light behavior (SLB) in youth.
