BARRIERS TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUCH AS DANCING

Getting involved in physical activities can be attributed to personal and

environmental factors. A person may experience a variety of challenges along
the way. This hinders the person to be physically active, hence, referred to as
barriers.

Personal Barriers

With the current trends in technology and development, people’s lives

have become convenient and easier and less active as well. People may also
have reasons or own justifications of their inactivity that form their attitude
towards physical movement, letting them live a sedentary life.
Some common explanations (barriers) that people cite for resistance to
dancing are:
● Insufficient time to dancing
● Inconvenience of dancing
● Lack of self–motivation
● Non–enjoyment, boredom
● Lack of confidence in their ability
● Fear of being injured
● Lack of self-management skills, such as the ability to set personal
goals
● Lack of encouragement, support from family and friends

Environmental barriers

Some may not notice, but the space and the setting where people live
greatly influence a person’s participation in dancing. The constant exposure
and the daily interaction with the people and things around them has a great
impact on the person’s preference towards bodily execution and the movement.
