Barriers in Older AdultsLattimore et al., (2011) stated that the term “barrier” is used to describe anything that participants reported as barriers to activity physical. A barrier is not necessarily something that prevents a person from being physically active, but rather something that is perceived as an obstacle to overcome in order to be physically active. In order to effectively change behavior, it is important to understand and remove barriers. These barriers can be grouped into individual, environmental and social categories (Lattimore et al., 2011). However, according to Petursdottir, Arnadottir, and Halldorsdottir (2010), they stated that there are internal and external factors that can act as facilitators or barriers to exercise. Before internal factors, it comes from the individual attributes themselves. The first is motivation. The influence of motivation was evident in the study, coming from a variety of sources. According to Petursdottir, Arnadottir, and Halldorsdottir (2010), older adults with health problems were eager to find activities and exercises that suited them, and in many cases, they adapted their exercises to fit their lives. Furthermore, for the other participants, they were motivated by the results of the exercise, and not because they liked or appreciated it. However, one of the participants seemed to lack motivation to exercise, due to an overwhelming experience of boredom during exercise (Petursdottir, Arnadottir, & Halldorsdottir, 2010). Additionally, participants were also very candid about their lack of self-discipline and motivation when trying to adhere to an exercise program. Before boredom, some respondents noted that there were "much more interesting" things to do rather than exercise, which turned into a... middle of paper...... things were often hard to find, and sometimes it was difficult to get information about them. Furthermore, they said that sometimes the accessibility of training facilities was poor and the equipment was not user-friendly. Furthermore, they also mentioned that the main barrier to accessibility was stairs and when walking outside, the lack of benches became an obstacle (Petursdottir, Arnadottir, & Halldorsdottir, 2010). Financial costs of physical activity behavior versus the cost of a gym membership emerged as a barrier for five participants. Alternatively, participants should recognize that there are other ways to engage in physical activity without incurring the cost of a gym membership (Buman, Yasova, & Giacobbi, 2010). Alcohol consumption has also been reported as another barrier preventing older adults from exercising (Ashe et al.., 2009).
