The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is originally developed in Spanish to evaluate self-perceived barriers for physical activity participation in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SBPAQ into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Approximately two hundred healthy individuals aged between 18-65 years will be included. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators will use the back-translation procedure. After the questionnaire will be translated into Turkish, the reliability, validity, and internal consistency of the Turkish version of SBPAQ (SBPAQ-T) will be tested. The questionnaire will be applied twice within 7 days to evaluate the test-retest reliability and to calculate the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Pearson correlation coefficient will be used to analyze construct and convergent/divergent validity. The construct validity of SBPAQ-T will be analyzed based on its correlation with the Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and Short Form-12. The Cronbach's Alpha will be calculated to determine internal consistency. The level of significance is considered as 0.05. The floor and ceiling effects will be detected.
