研究背景：对影响体育活动的知觉障碍、知觉障碍的因素结构以及知觉障碍与参与剧烈体育活动的关系进行了研究。一个两阶段的集群样本的高中学生（N = 1,041）在大都会多伦多学区。学生完成了一份调查问卷（回复率81.4%）处理在三个设置参与体育活动。因子分析被用来检验知觉障碍的维度。采用多元回归分析的方法，对知觉障碍与参与的关系进行了研究。由于学业、其他兴趣和家庭活动造成的时间限制是被认为最重要的四个障碍中的三个。女性提到的感知障碍始终高于男性。两个不同的经验和理论上有意义的因素出现的分析感知内部障碍和感知外部障碍。知觉的内部障碍预测的身体活动，在整体活动和校外活动。知觉到的外部障碍是整体的身体活动和其他学校活动的预测，但在相反的方向假设。得出的结论是，知觉障碍可能是预测的体育活动参与高中学生只有在特定的条件下。(C)1999年美国健康基金会和学术出版社。
Background Perceived barriers to physical activity, the factor structure of perceived barriers, and the relationship between perceived barriers and participation in vigorous physical activity were examined.Methods. A two-stage cluster sample of high school students (N = 1,041) in a large Metropolitan Toronto school district was used. Students completed a questionnaire (response rate 81.4%) dealing with participation in physical activity in three settings. Factor analysis was used to examine the dimensionality of perceived barriers. Multiple regression analysis was then used to examine the relationship between perceived barriers and participation.Results. Time constraints due to school work, other interests, and family activities were three of the four barriers considered most important. Females cited consistently higher levels of perceived barriers than males. Two empirically distinct and theoretically meaningful factors emerged from the analysis-perceived internal barriers and perceived external barriers. Perceived internal barriers were predictive of physical activity in overall activity and outside of school activity. Perceived external barriers were predictive of overall physical activity and other school activity, but in the direction opposite to that hypothesized.Conclusions. It was concluded that perceived barriers may be predictive of physical activity participation among high school students only under specific conditions.
