Introductory Message
 For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Health Optimizing Physical Education (HOPE 3) Self-

Learning Module 3 on Barriers to Physical Activity Assessment !

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.

LESSON
Barriers to Physical Activity – in Dance
Many technological advances and conveniences that have made our lives
easier and less active, many personal variables, including physiological,
behavioural, and psychological factors, may affect our plans to become more
physically active. Understanding common barriers to physical
activity and creating strategies to overcome them may help make physical
activity part of daily life. People experience a variety of personal and
environmental barriers to engaging in regular physical activity.

Personal barriers: With technological advances and conveniences, people’s lives

have in many ways become increasingly easier, as well as less active. In addition,
people have many personal reasons or explanations for being inactive. (Sallis and
Hovell; Sallis, Hovell, and Hofstetter)

1. Lack of Time
This is sometimes the problem of a dancers especially when his or her
study and training are at the same time. Time management should be the
prioritized.
2. Social Influence
  It is the change in behavior that one person causes in another,
intentionally or unintentionally, as a result of the way the changed person
perceives themselves in relationship to the influencer, other people and
society in general. 

3. Lack of Energy
Late nights can take a toll on your energy level. Diet and stress can
lead to a dancer to feel less energy during rehearsal or competitions.

4. Lack of Motivation

In every aspect of life, staying motivated is hard. Very few of us can

remain on a high every hour of every day of the year. If you wish to be an
active dancer, you must have a specific goal and be a motivator to others.

5. Fear of Injury
No pain, no gain is an exercise motto that promises greater value
rewards for the price of hard and even painful work. Under this conception
 competitive professionals, such as athletes and artists, are required to endure
pain and stress to achieve professional excellence.

6. Lack of Skill
Is the ability to do something correctly or well. As new in the activity,
there is also a basic skill to learned. As long you can follow, in the end, you
can do it well.

7. Lack of resource
The lack of resources may cause an increasing interest in dance
performance. A certain weariness and fatigue from the constant stress of
resources will weaken the performance of even the most dedicated staff and
artists.

8. Weather Condition
Consider the safety of dancers especially if the weather condition is
presence.

9. Family Involvement
A great dance performance and source of bonding if the parents
support and join their children in a dance activity.

The top three barriers to engaging in physical activity across the adult lifespan
are: time, energy and motivation.

Environmental barriers: The environment in which we live has a great influence on

our level of physical activity. Many factors in our environment affect us. Obvious
factors include the accessibility of walking paths, cycling trails, and recreation
facilities. Factors such as traffic, availability of public transportation, crime, and
pollution may also have an effect. Other environmental factors include our social
environment, such as support from family and friends, and community spirit.
