The level of physical activity among adult in Sudan is low. The purpose of this study used the Reasoned Action Approach to investigate the psychosocial determinants of Leisure-Time Physical Activity Behaviour (LTPA) of Sudanese adults.
This was a cross-sectional study design among adults in Omdurman city in Sudan.
A 378 participants (229 male and 149 female) completed a questionnaire to identify intention, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behaviour control about LTPA and actual behaviour. The relationship between studied determinants were examined using different statistical methods.
In all participants, 13% had at least 150 min of moderate-intensity LTPA per week. Analysis revealed that intentions (β = 0.26) along with perceived behaviour control (β = 0.19) predicted LTPA and accounted for 12% of the variance in LTPA behaviour. Attitude (β = 0.39), subjective norms (β = 0.18), and perceived Behaviour control (β = 0.11) were associated with intention to perform LTPA. They explained 22% of the variance in intentions.
consistent with RAA expectations, determinants of the intentions and LTPA behaviour were identified. Findings suggest interventions promoting LTPA in Sudanese adults should increase intention, create a positive attitude, build conducive social norms and raise the perception of control over the actual LTPA behaviour.
苏丹成年人的身体活动水平较低。本研究旨在运用合理行动理论，调查苏丹成年人休闲时间身体活动行为（LTPA）的心理社会决定因素。
这是一项针对苏丹恩图曼市成年人的横断面研究设计。
378名参与者（229名男性和149名女性）完成了一份问卷，以确定关于LTPA的意向、态度、主观规范、感知行为控制以及实际行为。使用不同的统计方法检验了所研究决定因素之间的关系。
在所有参与者中，13%的人每周至少有150分钟的中等强度LTPA。分析表明，意向（β = 0.26）和感知行为控制（β = 0.19）可预测LTPA，并解释了LTPA行为中12%的变异。态度（β = 0.39）、主观规范（β = 0.18）和感知行为控制（β = 0.11）与进行LTPA的意向相关。它们解释了意向中22%的变异。
与合理行动理论的预期一致，确定了意向和LTPA行为的决定因素。研究结果表明，促进苏丹成年人LTPA的干预措施应增强意向、营造积极态度、建立有利的社会规范并提高对实际LTPA行为的控制感。
