Official title
The Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Barriers to Being Active Quiz
Overview
The Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ) was originally developed in English to identify barriers to physical activity. This study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the BBAQ into Turkish (BBAQ-T) and evaluate its psychometric properties.
Detailed description
The study involves the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the BBAQ into Turkish and the assessment of its reliability and validity. A total of 210 healthy participants will be recruited. The adaptation process will follow a standardized back-translation method using two bilingual translators. A pilot study (n=15) will assess face validity, including linguistic clarity, conceptual relevance, and administration time. To evaluate test-retest reliability, participants will complete the BBAQ-T again within 5-7 days after the initial assessment. Internal consistency will be analyzed using Cronbach's alpha (α). Construct validity will be examined by correlating the BBAQ-T with the Turkish versions of the Self-Perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Short Form-12 (SF-12).
Primary outcome measures
- Barriers to Being Active Quiz [Time frame: Baseline (First assessment)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Barriers to Being Active Quiz [Time frame: Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)]
- Self-Perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire [Time frame: Baseline (First assessment)]
- Short Form-12 [Time frame: Baseline (First assessment)]
