Özet
In Turkey, there is a need to understand the factors that increase and decrease people’s level of physical activity in detail. Policies for disseminating sportive activitiy and physical activity should be based on databases. This type of research will form the basis to understand people’s positive and negative behavioral tendency towards physical exercise and establish the right policies. At this point, it is important to conduct research to determine the factors that motivate or prevent participation in physical activity in order to improve the health and physical fitness of all citizens in their free time (Aksoy 2016). The importance of regular physical activity for a healthy life increases every day. For this reason, for a continuous active life, first of all, the factors that affect physical activity should be investigated and the reasons that prevent these activities should be eliminated (Jackson and Henderson 1995). Regular physical activity is directly related to physical and psychological health and encouraging regular physical activity is a priority for public health (HHS, 1996). In order to develop the right policies and studies in accordance with the target, it is necessary to show which factors are effective in doing physical activity (Dishman and Sallis 1994). Childhood period is the most appropriate period in terms of gaining the habit of physical activity and maintaining it throughout life. It is quite difficult to change a still life style habit acquired at a young age in later periods (Akyol et al. 2008). Altuntaş (1995) investigated the physical activity and expectations of students in secondary education in Trabzon and suggested that parents’ educational levels and standards had an increasing effect on physical activity. Gümüş et al. (2014) stated that the students in vocational high schools face more physical activity barriers than those in Science and Anatolian high schools. It was thought that this situation is related to the education they have received in their schools. As they continued their vocational education related to their fields, they could not participate in physical activities. In the study, it was stated that as the achievement levels of the students increased, the barriers of physical activity decreased. Despite the benefits of physical activity in these studies and in many other studies, the participating of high school youths in physical activities is gradually decreasing due to developing technology, easy lifestyle, educational life and many other reasons. Young people at high school age may lose their social relations as they move away from physical activities, their health may be adversely affected, and talented athletes in our country may move away from sports over time. Identifying the reasons why high school students cannot participate in physical activities may perhaps help high school students to get away from these problems. In this study, it will try to develop a high validity and reliability scale that can determine the factors that prevent the participation of high school students in physical activities. With this scale, it will be able to determine the reasons why high school students stay away from physical activities. In the light of this information, thanks to the PHYACPFS who will be tried to improve, we will be able to determine the reasons for young people’s moving away from sports and physical activities. The young who are in a period of rapid development in terms of physical, social and spiritual aspects should be in the focus of studies which promote their performance development. It is thought that it can contribute to the growth of socially, spiritually and physically healthy individuals and to bring our existing athletic skills to higher levels as a country.
